Apple Crisp

This is a delightful fall recipe!  There's nothing quite like warm apple crisp and vanilla ice cream!  Yum!

8 apples
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla


Topping:
1 cup gf oatmeal
1/4 cup featherlight flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened

Preheat oven to 375º.  Peel, core, and slice apples.  In a medium bowl mix together apples, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg.  Pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.  In a separate bowl combine the oatmeal, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Add butter and mix until it's combined well.  I like to use my hands.  Sprinkle the topping all over the apples.  Bake for about 30 minutes.  Cool slightly and serve warm with vanilla ice cream!

Zucchini Bread

I love this zucchini bread recipe.  It is an adaptation of a Lion House recipe.  It's moist and delicious!

1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup applesauce
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 cups shredded raw zucchini
3 cups featherlight flour
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Combine oil, applesauce, sugar, and eggs in large mixer bowl.  Beat well.  Blend in vanilla and zucchini.  Mix dry ingredients together in a separate bowl.  Add to oil mixture and blend well.  Add nuts, and stir.

Pour batter into 2 loaf pans (8x4x3), well greased and lightly floured.  Bake at 350º for 50 - 55 minutes, or until loaves test done.  Let stand in pans for ten minutes, then turn out on racks to cool.
