How to Make a Gluten-Free Fruit Cobbler or Crisp

I adapted this super yummy gluten-free peach raspberry crisp recipe from an apple crisp recipe found in theMoosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen. It is one of my mother’s most used cookbooks of all time.

For this healthy gluten-free fruit crisp variation, I used fresh peaches and raspberries instead of apples, an almond meal instead of flour, maple syrup instead of honey, and I left the spices out. But you are welcome to add any you think would taste delicious.

My daughter didn’t like spices at the time, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the peach raspberry crisp recipe was without them, so I decided to share it with you. But you are welcome to add any you like to it.

We’ve also made this healthy fruit crisp recipe with blueberries added to it, which is absolutely delicious, so you might also like to try that variation. I hope yourfamily enjoys this healthy kid-friendly dessert’s sweet, tangy flavor as much as mine does!

Gluten-Free Fruit Crisp Recipe Ingredients

2-3 large peaches or 3-5 small peaches peeled and cut into slices (or use apples and add 1 tsp of cinnamon to the recipe.)
1/2 – 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (and or blueberries, blackberries)
2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup almond meal or almond flour (Grind raw almonds in a food processor if you prefer fresh ground almond meal.)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped sunflower seeds
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup maple syrup

Update: Over the years my family has experimented with lots of different types of fruit in this delicious gluten-free cobbler recipe. We have discovered that different combinations of peaches or apples with raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries taste delicious. It’s also amazing with just one type of fruit, such as apples or blackberries. So, experiment with your favorite seasonal fruits and enjoy!

FAQs

If your crisp is too soggy, it's likely because there was too much liquid in the fruit or because you didn't let it cool long enough! If your peaches are extra sweet, you might need to add more cornstarch or use fewer peaches.

A pastry chef friend shared the technique. Instead of sprinkling the raw crumbs on top of the fruit, where they absorb the juices and turn a little mushy on their undersides, he spread them out in a pan and baked them separately, until crisp and cookielike.

Keep the Fruit Filling and Topping Separate, for Now

When making cobblers, crisps, and crumbles in advance, the best way to ensure a crispy, crackly topping — with no signs of sogginess — is baking and storing the fruit filling and topping separately.

So what's a crumble vs. a crisp? A crumble is just a crisp without oats in the streusel. It may feature nuts, but the streusel topping is usually a simple combination of butter, flour, and sugar that is more clumpy than that of a crisp.

Nutritional breakdown of peaches

One raw medium peach (147 grams) has 50 calories, 0.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of cholesterol and sodium, 15 grams of carbohydrate, 13 grams of sugar, 2 grams of fiber and 1 gram of protein. It provides 6% of your daily vitamin A needs and 15% of daily vitamin C needs.

Peaches can be incredibly sweet, but with less than 13 g of sugar in a medium peach, they can still be considered low in sugar.

Not adding a thickener

Fruit is naturally watery, and when it bakes, that liquid cooks out and mixes with your sugar and spices to create a delicious sauce. However, you don't want your apple crisp weeping everywhere. Just toss in a little cornstarch or tapioca starch with your fruit before baking.

Typically that wonderfully fresh fruit sheds all its juices in the oven, leaving the filling soupy, the fruit mushy, and the topping anything but crisp. Plopping any old raw topping onto room-temperature fruit may be easy, but it will likely lead to a soggy mess.

The ingredient list for a crumble or crisp is relatively short, but don't be tempted to leave out the cornstarch. As fruit cooks, it releases its juices, becoming saucy and soupy. This is partially what makes a crisp so delicious—but also what can turn it from a casserole-style dessert into fruit soup.

Your day-old mush will turn back into the warm and crunchy crisp once more if you reheat in the oven at 350°. And for the love of autumn, please do not forget the ice cream. Or the whipped cream. Or the mascarpone…
