For the fruit filling
- 3 pounds peaches and plums (you can also use one or the other or any of the other fruit listed above in the FAQs. Remove the stone and cut each fruit into eight pieces. If using smaller sized fruit cut into halves. You can leave small berries whole.)
- ½ cup sugar (use ⅓ cup if fruit is tart, or more)
- ⅓ cup gluten-free all purpose flour (can use regular all purpose wheat flour if not gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg (you can use either cinnamon or nutmeg only. In that case use more)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the crisp topping
- ¾ cup gluten-free all purpose flour (can use regular all purpose flour)
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup sugar (Use more sugar if the fruit is tart, up to ¾ cup)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 5 tablespoon vegan butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
Bake
Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any juices that might overflow, then place in the preheated oven. Bake 45 minutes or until the crisp is turning golden and crunchy.
Let the crisp stand at room temperature on a rack in a cool spot for at least 15-20 minutes, or longer if possible to let the juices thicken. Serve.
Rinse and dry the bowl used to make the fruit filling and use it to mix the crisp topping, to reduce cleanup.
You can sub the sugar with another sweetener like stevia. In that case cut down a bit on the flour you would mix with the fruit--make it 3 tablespoon instead of ⅓rd of a cup.
You can leave the crisp out at room temperature for a day or two at most, but refrigerate it after that, where it should be fine for five days. For longer-term storage freeze the crisp. Thaw and reheat in a 375 degree oven for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
