Gluten Free Old-Fashioned Apple Crisp with Oat Topping

Juicy apples—Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, or a mix of both—get tossed with cinnamon, nutmeg, a touch of sugar, and a bright squeeze of lemon juice until they're perfectly coated and ready to bubble away in the oven. The topping is where this crisp earns its name: old-fashioned rolled oats and brown sugar are worked with cold butter into coarse, clumpy crumbs that bake up deeply golden and craggy. Scattered thick over the fruit and baked until the filling bubbles up around the edges, it's the kind of dessert that fills the kitchen with cinnamon and caramelized apple smell long before it's ready. Let it rest those ten minutes so the filling sets into a soft, syrupy layer beneath that crunchy top, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting right into it. This one's an easy, comforting fit for a gluten free dessert table, no fuss required.
