Yes, this is another apple crisp.  I believe there are about four or five on my site.  I cannot help it.  When I want an apple pie, but I’m too lazy to make a crust, I make an apple crisp.  This time, I used almond meal in the topping.Apple Crisp with almond meal toppingMy family seems to think they cannot eat any kind of crisp/cobbler/crumble without vanilla ice cream.  Is your family like that, too?  I get all excited about the “healthiness” of a recipe and then wham-bam-traffic-jam, Hubs or the kiddos head to the freezer to cancel out all of my seemingly good nutritional work.  Gluten Free Apple Crisp made with almond mealWhen you can’t beat them, join them, right?  I found a wonderful gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free frozen dessert called Coconut Bliss.  They come in all sorts of wonderful flavors.  My favorite is Ginger Cookie Caramel.  I splurge on containers of this frozen coconut milk delicacy once in a while.  I have to write “Mom’s! Don’t Eat! ” all over the carton in order to actually get to eat it, though.  My big teenage sons would eat the entire pint in one sitting.
