This healthier fruit crisp is filled with raspberries and peaches and topped with a gluten free almond-oat crumble. Serve warm or chilled for breakfast or dessert.
1cupold fashioned rolled oatsdivided (gluten free, if necessary)
1teaspoonbaking powder
3tablespoonscoconut sugar or light brown sugar
¼teaspoonsalt
Finely grated zest of half an orangeoptional
5tablespoonschilled unsalted buttercut into cubes
3tablespoonsmilk
Filling:
10ozbag frozen raspberries
10ozbag frozen sliced peachescut really large pieces in half
¼cupcoconut sugar or granulated sugar
2tablespoonsfreshly squeezed orange juice
2 ½tablespoonscornstarch
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter or spray the inside of a 2 quart baking dish (I used a deep dish pie plate). Set aside.
For the topping:
Put 1 cup of almonds and ½ cup oats in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse several times, until the almonds and oats turn into a medium-fine meal. Add the remaining oats, baking powder, sugar, salt, and orange zest. Pulse a few more times. Add in butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the milk and pulse several more times until combined. Dump the topping into a bowl and stir in the remaining ½ cup of almonds. Refrigerate the topping while you prepare the filling.
For the filling:
Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Pile the topping over the berries in an even layer. I like to pinch some of the topping between my thumb and forefinger to help create clumps in the topping.
Place the fruit crisp in the oven and cook for about 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges. Check periodically and loosely tent with foil if the topping is getting too dark. Cool for about 20 minutes and serve warm.
Notes
This crisp is not overly sweet. If you prefer it sweeter, you can serve it drizzled with maple syrup or honey.
