Gluten Free Apple Crisp

This is taken from my Bon Appetit dessert cookbook.
The original recipe is for Apple-Almond Crisp
 Ingredients topping
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour- I used 1 cup Betty Crocker Gluten Free Bisquick mix and half cup of Domata brand GF flour
 1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled salted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup sliced almonds (about 4 1/2 ounces) I used Pecans instead
 Filling
3/4 cup sugar
 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
 8 small Granny Smith apples (about 4 1/2 pounds), peeled, halved, cored, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
Preparation topping
Whisk flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in medium bowl to blend well. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture holds together in small, moist clumps. Mix in almonds; cover and chill until ready to use. DO AHEAD Can be made up to 3 days ahead.
  Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Combine first 5 ingredients in large bowl; whisk to blend well. Mix in apples, then vanilla and almond extracts. Spoon filling into prepared dish. Sprinkle topping over. Bake until apples are tender and topping is golden and crisp, about 1 hour. Cool at least 10 minutes; serve warm.
