How to Make a Gluten-Free Fruit Cobbler or Crisp
I adapted this super yummy gluten-free peach raspberry crisp recipe from an apple crisp recipe found in the Moosewood Cookbook
by Mollie Katzen. It is one of my mother’s most used cookbooks of all time.
For this healthy gluten-free fruit crisp variation, I used fresh peaches and raspberries instead of apples, an almond meal instead of flour, maple syrup instead of honey, and I left the spices out. But you are welcome to add any you think would taste delicious.
My daughter didn’t like spices at the time, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the peach raspberry crisp recipe was without them, so I decided to share it with you. But you are welcome to add any you like to it.
We’ve also made this healthy fruit crisp recipe with blueberries added to it, which is absolutely delicious, so you might also like to try that variation. I hope your family enjoys this healthy kid-friendly dessert’s sweet, tangy flavor as much as mine does!

.My family thinks this gluten-free cobbler recipe tastes delicious with the peels on or off. It is quicker and easier for kids to make this fruit crisp if you leave them on, but I like it better when the peaches or apples are peeled. I like to bake this gluten-free fruit crisp recipe in our convection oven
to make a slightly crunchy yet deliciously chewy top to go along with vanilla ice cream–Yum!!
Gluten-Free Fruit Crisp Recipe the Whole Family Will Love!
The whole family will love this gluten-free peach raspberry crisp recipe. Both the peaches and raspberries in the fruit crisp in the photographs came straight from our garden. Serve it warm right out of the oven plain or with fresh cream, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream–yum!
This gluten-free cobbler recipe is a fabulous farm-to-table recipe to make with the kids whether you grow your own fruit, or stop by your local fruit stand or farmers market. You can make it with peaches and raspberries in the summer and apples (add 1 tsp of cinnamon) throughout the fall and winter. Enjoy!
Looks great!! Do you think you could use almond pulp instead of meal? I make almond milk at home and always am looking for recipes to use the extra pulp! 😀
I would think you could. In that case add in some extra moisture to the recipe. Use 1/3 to 1/2 cup of orange juice. Pour it over the top once you put everything in the dish. Come on back and let me know how it turns out 🙂
This sounds amazing and I just happen to have both peaches and raspberries! I do have fresh peaches but I also have home canned peaches. Could I use either in this recipe?
Yes, You could use canned peaches. Make sure you rinse and drain them. They will not be as good as fresh, but it will still be good!
