Gluten Free Fruit Crisp!

Since my sister was over for Thanksgiving dinner, I decided to make a gluten free fruit crisp so she can delve into the deliciousness of dessert as well. It is really not that hard to make, especially if you find that one right ingredient.

For the fruit base the recipe is as follows:

3 cups peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples

1 1/2 cups of sliced strawberries

1 1/2 cups of sliced rhubarb

1/2 cup of brown sugar

2 tbs of orange juice

1 1/2 tbs of cornstarch

throw all of this into a bowl and then into a sprayed baking dish ( 11 * 8 inch ). Once this is done then you can move straight to the crumble.

The crumble base recipe is as follows:

3/4 cup of gluten free rolled oats*

1/4 cup of white rice flour or brown rice flour

1/4 cup of brown sugar

1/2 tsp of cinnamon

3 tbs of butter or margarine

*you can get these at Community Health Foods in downtown Calgary. I know as weird as it sounds, gluten free oats, it basically means that they have not come in contact with other gluteness rolled oats in the process. It is also said that it is only really safe if the said person with celiac only have a max of 3/4 cup of these oats per day (which I just barely made). More information on this, you can visit this website: celiac disease

Fruit is ready to go!

All baked and ready to be eaten!

Served up and topped off with a canelle of coconut icecream :)

It was tasty as I have always like this recipe, but it was the first time I made it gluten free. I myself used white rice flour and found it to be a bit gritty as that is what white rice flour tends to have a texture of. I asked the rest of my family and they all loved it. My sister especially which was nice :)
