Gluten Free Mini Apple Crisps with Hemp Hearts

Mini Apple Crisps with Hemp Hearts

We're trying to eat less gluten.  There are several studies done regarding auto-immune disorders and the benefits of eliminating gluten.  However, I love fruit crisps and most include flour.  Since fall is approaching, baking season has started.  I made these in individual ramekins.  See guideline below for serving sizes.  Here is my flour-free Mini Apple Crisps.  They are reasonably healthy thanks to the oats, hemp hearts, and apples.  My 3-year old loved it!
