Gluten-Free Apple Crisp + Fall Moscow Mule

Fall is finally here and I couldn’t be more ready for cozy sweaters, cool air and all things made with apples! There is just something about baking with apples that warms up your entire home. Since going gluten-free, I’ve had a hard time missing out on my favorite desserts. Especially apple pie and apple crisp, which are two of my all-time favorites. This year I decided that I’m no longer sitting dessert out, there has to be an alternative! I just took my old trusty apple crisp recipe and substituted the ingredients with flour for gluten-free alternatives. It was actually super simple and you would hardly know you are missing out on the gluten!

You can’t have apple crisp without a cocktail, I mean you could, but it just wouldn’t be right. I paired this dish with an apple cider Moscow mule that is absolutely delicious. Serve this on its on at your next party or pair it with your gluten-free apple crisp and I promise your guests will be singing your praises!
