Hearty Oat Crust

Gluten-free oats combine easily with rice flour for a delicate tart shell that holds it shape. It browns delightfully with a slight crunch.

The crumb crust is simply pressed into a tart pan, meaning no rolling out of pastry dough. While pastry dough isn’t all that difficult this crumb crust is a delightful switch to the ordinary.

The oats add a nice whole grain heartiness to the overall gooey apple center.

Pie Filling

I went with a quart jar of homemade canned apple pie filling in this recipe. However, you could use any kind of pie filling you have on had. Definitely feel free to use a store bought version if desired.

The ease of a canned pie filling makes this recipe even easier and quicker for busy weeknights or when you need to make something in a hurry for some kind of gathering.

Note: If gluten-free is important read the labels of store-bought canned pie filling carefully to be certain.

You could also fill the tart with fresh fruit mixed with some sugar for a different kind of tart.

Topping Options

The tart is amazing and filling just as it comes out of the oven. However, make it extra special by topping it with some whipped cream or ice cream.

Dessert or Breakfast

Originally this recipe was definitely intended to be a dessert. However, if you’re not opposed to the occasional pie or sweet breakfast treat, this tart is ideal for an early morning meal too.

It is quite delightful served alongside hot coffee or tea either way.
