Many products are naturally gluten free, but if you have a gluten intolerance or a disease that prevents you from eating gluten, you know you have to be extra careful about avoiding gluten and cross-contamination.

Here are gluten-free product substitutions we used in this recipe to make a gluten free almond flour apple crisp in Instant Pot recipe.

almond flour | King Arthur has a wide range of gluten-free products.
gluten free rolled oats | Be careful when buying oats. Double check that they are gluten free and not cross-contaminated.
light brown sugar | While naturally gluten-free, make sure you buy brown sugar that specifically says it is gluten free so you don't accidentally purchase a product that is produced in a facility that also produces products containing gluten.
ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg | Jackie's kitchen has a selection of gluten free spices to stock up on.

Honestly, this apple crisp recipe is great served alone but also delicious with your favorite toppings!

Is Crisp The Same As Cobbler

Cobbler is more cake-like on the topping where crisps are made using oats. Both have a fruit filling and are absolutely delicious to eat up! I love them both but crisps always win me over with the oats!

Can I Make This With Canned Apple Pie Filling

If you don't want to use fresh apples, go ahead and reach for canned apple pie filling. I would suggest using 2 cans for this recipe, as one can doesn't go too far.

It will be very similar you will just lack the mix of homemade but it will taste very similar to using fresh apples!

Does Crisp Refrigerate Well

You can enjoy leftover dessert. Just place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4-5 days. Then you can eat the leftovers cold or toss in the microwave for a quick reheat.

If you reheat just do a little time at a time, it will get bubbling hot fast. Then top with your favorite toppings or enjoy it plain. The crisp topping will be a bit soggier in texture but still taste incredible!
