  3. Pour the coated apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Ensure the apples are in a single layer as much as possible.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, packed light brown sugar, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well combined.
