Ingredients
  • For Filling:
  • 3 cups assorted plums, peeled and diced (about 10-12)
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1½ teaspoons maple extract
  • ⅓ cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • For Crumb Topping:*
  • ½ cup gluten free oats
  • 2 tablespoons oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • dash of salt
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter, slightly chilled and cut into tablespoon slabs
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon
  • Ice cream (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional)
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and spray an 8X8 pan or 1 quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl combine all ingredients, except cornstarch, for filling and mix thoroughly. Let sit while making the crumb topping.
  3. For the crumb topping combine oats, oat flour, tapioca flour, almond flour, pecans, brown sugar, xanthan gum, baking soda and salt in a medium sized mixing bowl. Mix ingredients until evenly distributed throughout. Cut in slightly chilled butter slabs with a pastry blender or two knives. Use fingers to thoroughly mix the crumbs with the butter.
  4. Add cornstarch to the filling mixture. Stir to combine. Pour filling into baking dish. Sprinkle crumb mixture over the top. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the crumb mixture.
  5. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes or until fruit crisp is lightly browned on top and filling is bubbling. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  6. Serve with ice cream or freshly whipped cream.
Notes
*I recently used ½ cup of a gluten free all purpose flour blend in place of the oat flour, tapioca flour and almond flour combination. It tasted just as good. Omit the xanthan gum from the recipe if your flour blend already has it. Also, make sure your all purpose blend does not include garbanzo bean flour as an ingredient.
