The Ingredients

These are the basic ingredients you'll need to make a gluten free fruit crumble:

the fruit filling

• 6 cups of your favorite fruit--this can be any combination of fruit or all one fruit. More examples below.
• Tapioca starch--just a little for thickening
• Sugar--not much, but it will depend on the sweetness of your fruit
• Fresh lemon juice

the crumble

• Kim's gluten free flour blend--a store bought blend may be substituted, but hasn't been tested.
• Light brown sugar
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Butter

Putting it All Together

Depending on the fruit you choose, you can be enjoying this amazing fruit crumble with hardly any work at all! If you have to peel or chop your fruit, then obviously it will take you a little longer to make this. But it's still a very easy dessert to make in a time crunch and at a whim!

Put all the fruit in a large bowl and add the tapioca starch, sugar, and lemon juice. Toss and set aside. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and, using your fingers, work it into the flour mixture until large clumps form.

Dump the fruit into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the crumble mixture all over the top in odd-shaped pieces and different sizes. Place the baking pan on top of a larger baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the fruit below is bubbling. The baking time will also depend on what fruit you use.

Ideas and Variations

• Ginger Peach--use peaches as the fruit, adding a tablespoon more tapioca starch to account for the juiciness of the peaches. Finely chop crystallized ginger (or use dried ginger) and add it to the crumble dough.
• Strawberry Basil--use strawberries as the fruit and add a tablespoon of minced fresh basil to the crumble dough.
• Melba--mix peaches with raspberries as the fruit.
• Pina Colada--use pineapple as the fruit and add unsweetened shredded coconut to both the fruit and the dough.
• Plum Cardamom--use plums for the fruit and add a teaspoon of cardamom to the dough.
• Cherry Almond--use cherries for the fruit, adding a tablespoon of amaretto or one teaspoon of almond extract to the fruit filling. Add finely chopped or slivered almonds to the dough.
• Blueberry Lavender--use blueberries for the fruit and add food grade lavender to the crumble dough.
• Pear Ginger--just as above, add ginger to the dough (in the form of chopped crystallized or dried), and use sliced pears as the fruit.
• Apple Cinnamon--add cinnamon to apples in filling as well as in the crumble. Serve with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
