    Fruit crisp must be well endowed in our house. I dont need no, “little bit of topping on some fruit.” I’m on team “little bit of fruit on my topping.” OK, in all honesty we're just over half fruit and half topping. May as well go all in if you're going to the trouble of making this dish!

    If your fruit is frozen, I suggest baking ahead of time at 350 until it's fully thawed and starting to bubble a bit before adding your topping. This way the topping doesn't get lost in the juices before they thicken up. Just adjust your baking time accordingly after you add the topping so it doesn't burn.

    This is the perfect gluten-free dessert or breakfast. Oats are naturally gluten-free, and you can use whatever flour you have on hand whether that's wheat or your favourite one-to-one blend. Just make sure any ingredients you use are certified gluten-free if that's important to ya. Also keep allergies in mind when you're choosing to add nuts or coconut to your topping.

    This really is perfect for scooping out while hot to have as dessert. Leftovers are also great for breakfast, and you can eat this hot or cold. It pairs nicely with whipped cream, ice cream, or yogurt. I'll let you decide what topping is for what meal.

    No wimpy topping here! This delectable fruit crisp is pretty much half fruit and half topping. Give the people what they want, I say.

    Ingredients
      

    Crisp Topping

    • 2 cups rolled oats*
    • 1 ½ cups sugar
    • 1 cup flour this can be all purpose, whole wheat, buckwheat, GF blend
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, OR cardamom OR a combo of all three
    • 1 cup mixed nuts, seeds, or coconut
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup melted butter

    Fruit Filling

    • 6-8 cups chopped fruit or berries**
    • ½-1 cup dried or fresh/frozen cranberries optional
    • ¾ cup sugar
    • ¼ cup cornstarch
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

    Instructions
     

    Crisp Topping

    • Mix together everything but the butter.
    • Stir in the butter and mix until crumbly. Set aside.

    Fruit Filling

    • Mix together your fruit and pour into a 9x13 casserole dish.
    • Top your fruit with the oat topping, and bake at 350F for about 45-60 minutes, until filling is bubbling. If you’ve baked the frozen fruit first, this step after adding topping will be shorter and you’ll want to bake it until the topping is gently browned and fruit bubbly.
    • Serve immediately or when cold- it makes an excellent breakfast. For dessert we eat with ice cream or whip cream, for breakfast we eat it with yogurt.

    Notes

    • *Oats are gluten-free, but if you need to make extra sure, then check for the package to be labeled certified gluten-free.
    • **Berries, plums, apples, peaches, anything goes. We almost always do a combination, not just one fruit. Adding the dried fruit or something small like cranberries is also great for adding color to apples.

      This is the best fruit crisp! I’ve tried a variety of fruit crisp recipes over the years, but this is now my absolute favorite. I made mine with a mix of peaches, raspberries, and blueberries.

      I can't say I followed this recipe, but it inspired me to use a combination of apples and red currants and to bake the fruit from frozen. Then I used my go to crisp topping with brown sugar. It turned out delicious, so I'm happy for the inspiration!
