Easy Gluten Free Crisp

Even though farmer’s markets are winding down and there’s a definite chill in the air, don’t let that keep you from making and enjoying fruit forward favorites like this easy easy gluten free crisp.

I’ve made this deliciously easy gluten free crisp recipe with apples, peaches, cranberries, blackberries, pears, plums … there’s hardly a combination that wouldn’t work, so get creative!

Grab the last of the stone fruit harvest or take the family apple picking this weekend and whip up this rustic treat in just minutes. As the weather turns wintry, you can even use frozen, sliced peaches and cranberries to make this delicious dessert any time of year!

Made in a cast iron skillet, the edges are even more buttery-crispy, and it makes a lovely presentation without a lot of hard work, but feel free to bake in an 8×8 square pan or your favorite larger cake pan. 

With a dish like this one, there’s no right or wrong, only scrumptious, makes-you-want-to-eat-it-right-out-of-the-pan-with-a-spoon deliciousness.

One final note on the gluten-free oats in this recipe: ONLY buy CERTIFIED gluten free oats grown under the purity protocol. For more on the difference between so-called gluten-free oats and certified, purity protocol oats, hop to this article on purity protocol or listen to my Gluten Free Voice podcast interview with Seaton Smith from GF Harvest.

Also be sure to read this article on shopping for safe gluten free products so you can identify labels indicating that a product is certified by a third party. Brands listed in this list compiled by the Gluten Free Watchdog sell or grow pure “gluten free” oats.

I offer organic, certified gluten free, purity protocol oats in my store for my customers’ convenience. I thoroughly research and trust these oats, and use them in my own kitchen. You can see them in the gfJules store link here.

Ingredients

Fruit Filling

• 5-6 apples, peaches, pears, etc. (OR 32 ounces sliced, frozen peaches)
• ½ - 1 cup frozen cranberries or other berry of choice
• ¼ cup gfJules® Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
• ¼ cup coconut palm sugar OR brown sugar (reduce or eliminate if fruits are very sweet)
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• ½ tsp. nutmeg

Crisp Topping

• 1 cup (135 gr) gfJules® Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour
• ¾ cup coconut palm sugar OR brown sugar (you may reduce for lower sugar)
• 1 cup Certified Gluten Free, Purity Protocol Oats
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• ¼ tsp. sea salt
• ½ cup cold butter or non-dairy alternative (Green Valley Organics® Lactose Free Butter or Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Prepare an cast iron skillet or  8×8 or 9×13 baking dish by oiling the bottom and sides lightly (a smaller pan will yield a thicker crisp and will need to bake longer).

In a large bowl, stir to combine all filling ingredients. Set aside while preparing the topping.

Combine all dry topping ingredients in a large bowl, then cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or an electric mixer or large food processor. The mixture should be like clumpy gravel in texture when the butter is incorporated.

Pour the fruit filling mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pan and sprinkle with the topping until covered evenly.  Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is lightly browned.

Serve warm as it is, or top with ice cream or non-dairy “ice creams”.

Serves 8.
