GLUTEN FREE APPLE CRISP

"I like a lot of Streusel Topping on my apple crisp, and this recipe has lots! There’s plenty, even If you use a shallow pan. If you like less topping, halve the streusel recipe."

FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING:
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup potato starch
3/4 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
FOR THE APPLE MIXTURE:
5 to 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, chopped (about 5 cups)
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons sugar (use a bit more for tart apples)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In medium bowl, combine all Streusel Topping ingredients. Mix to form small clumpy pieces. If you overrnix, you may simply break off small pieces of the topping to form small pieces. Set aside.

In large bowl, combine apples, cornstarch, sugar, and cinnamon. Toss to coat well. Put apple mixture into lightly greased pie plate or 1 1/2 quart casserole. Top with streusel mixture.

Bake 35 minutes until apples are tender and streusel is lightly browned.
