It's a Hard Knock Life (Gluten Free Apple Crisp)

I have a lot of very close friends that can't have gluten. It is a hard knock life for them indeed! I thought I would revamp one of my classic recipes for those who want to enjoy fall desserts, but can't. This one goes out to all of my gluten-free friends out there!

Active Time: 20 minutes
In Active Time: 
Makes 8 servings 

6 Granny Smith or Macoun Apples
3 Tablespoons Butter, cut into small cubes
1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
1/3 Cup Coconut Flour OR Gluten Free Flour
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon 
Pinch of Nutmeg
1/2 Teaspoon Ginger
Pinch of Salt
1/4 Cup Water

Topping
1 Cup Gluten Free Rolled Oats
1 Cup Coconut Flour OR Gluten Free Flour
6 Tbsp Butter - Room Temp
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice apples into 1/4 inch slices. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a skillet on medium heat. Add apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Sauté until fruit is a little soft. Add water  and flour and cover. Cook for another three minutes. Remove from heat and pour mixture into a casserole dish.  In a small bowl, mix together remaining butter, brown sugar, oats, and flour with a fork until the mixture is moist, but still crumbly. Pour dry ingredient mixture on top of apples. Cover with tin foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15 minutes. Serve warm with bourbon or nutmeg whipped cream.
