Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Apple Crisp with Hint of Orange
Apple crisp is an autumnal favorite. Our version – called Apple Crisp with a Hint of Orange – is free of top allergens. But while it skips on the usual gluten and dairy, it introduces orange zest. This lends the dessert a welcome shot of citrus tang. Photo: Chris Gonzaga
