Gluten-free apple crumble with blackberries and rhubarb

6 servings

45 minutes

Gluten-free apple crumble with blackberries and rhubarb is a refined blend of sour and sweet notes harmoniously intertwined in one dessert. The history of crumble originates from English cuisine, where it became an alternative to complex pies during ingredient shortages. This gluten-free version highlights the natural sweetness of apples, the gentle tartness of rhubarb, and the rich fruity depth of blackberries, complemented by a light spiciness of cinnamon and brightness of orange. The crunchy almond-rice crumb adds airiness and exquisite texture to the dessert. Served warm, it pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of thick cream, turning each bite into a celebration of flavor and aroma.
