It’s that time of year where the evenings are still sometimes chilly, and a warm dessert is in order. Not to mention that apples are about the only fruit that’s still available (locally grown) at this time of year! My friend Amie of The Healthy Apple has put together some delicious looking kid-friendly snacks for us, and the first one I’m sharing with you is her Gluten-Free Apple Crisp. Looks yummy, doesn’t it?

Crisp Topping Ingredients:
- ½ cup cashews, ground
- 3 Tbsp. oil

- Optional Topping: Greek plain yogurt
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Prepare a baking dish with nonstick baking spray (or butter).
3. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl; mix well.
4. Pour dry mix over apples while mixing, until apples are just covered.
