Healthified Stone Fruit Crisp

Late summer is a perfect time for fruit crisp. There are so many recipes out there, however they are loaded with sugar! I was seeking a healthier fruit crisp that was low in sugar as well as being gluten and dairy free. This is the recipe I came up with. Less sugar with a few healthier additions as well. If you use fruit that is fully ripe, this recipe should be perfectly sweet to your newly trained taste buds. See retraining your taste buds if you haven’t done that yet.  Even family members that choose to keep their old sugary taste buds liked this recipe. 😉

You can used any combination of stone fruits according to your preference. If you have an aversion to seeds you can leave them out and I don’t think it will affect the recipe too much. I added them for some extra nutrition and to absorb some of the juices.

Ingredients –

Fruit filling:

2 yellow peaches (peeled, pitted and cubed)

2 white nectarines (peeled, pitted and cubed)

2 plums (peeled, pitted and cubed)

1 cup frozen cherries (defrosted)

1 Tbsp arrowroot powder

2 Tbsp Swerve granular

1 Tbsp chia seeds (I grind mine)

1/2 Tbsp ground flaxseed

1 tsp cinnamon

pinch of sea salt

Topping:

1/2 c oat flour or gluten-free flour blend

1/2 c almond flour

1 c gluten-free rolled oats

1 tsp cinnamon

3/4 c butter or vegan butter

1/2 c brown sugar

1/2 c brown swerve (or sub brown sugar)

1/3 c roughly chopped pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

1/2 c chopped nuts- whatever you like

pinch or two of sea salt (to taste)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease baking dish with coconut oil. I used 2.5 qt casserole dish. (Similar size is fine. Bigger size will just have a thinner fruit layer.)DSC09371

For filling: Stir together the filling ingredients until evenly coated.

For topping: In another bowl mix together the dry topping ingredients. Cut in the butter. Blend until evenly incorporated. Mixture will be crumbly.

Spoon fruit into baking dish and even out. Break apart topping and sprinkle evenly over fruit.

I can smell it now! 😛
