G-Free Thanksgiving! That's something to be thankful for.

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I know I did.. until I encountered gluten.

I'm not sure how, probably through cross-contamination, but I was down for a few hours with a post-turkey & potatoes stomach pain. After that time I returned to the kitchen to scope out what went wrong. Going through all my recipes and which serving spoons ended up where, I came across my mom's old cook book.

I found a recipe for apple crisp that is EASY and simply delicious!

You can use any kind of apple you prefer. I use Honey Crisp and Granny Smith for a nice combo.

Slice your apples (2ish -depending on how much you want) and place them directly into the baking pan.

For the topping:

Combine softened butter, g-free oats, brown sugar, a dash of vanilla, a dash of salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a few spoon-fulls of apple sauce.

Topping should be crumbly.

Bless my sweet mother's heart, she never measures anything! However, it does make each recipe a bit of an adventure. Pour topping over apples and spread evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes. (Apple crisp is always good warm with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream!)

Enjoy! And remember what they say: an apple a day keeps the doctor away!! I'll take 2.
