One of my favorite ways to eat sub-par fruit in the summer is a 1 pan crumble recipe. The base is typically a peach, but you can add strawberries, blueberries or whatever else you have in the fridge if it’s a berry or a stone fruit.
Crumble vs. Cobbler:
A Crumble consists of a crumble texture with oats, butter, and sugar that is sprinkled on top and creates a texture on the top of the baked treat. A cobbler is when there is a biscuit or a cake-like topping to the fruit. I prefer a crumble. There is something so easy and effortless about grabbing a cereal bowl, vegan butter, some sugar, oats, and gluten-free flour, squishing it together with a fork and dumping it on top of your cut fruit. Where a cobbler to me is only good when the biscuit is flaky and light, which is hard to achieve with gluten-free flour.
Staple ingredients in a Crumble:
- Ripe fruit
- Maple Syrup
- Corn Starch or gluten-free flour
- Brown sugar
- Vegan Butter
- Old Fashioned Gluten Free Oats
Gluten-Free & Dairy Free Peach Crumble
I sliced my peaches up this morning to put on my yofurt bowl and after one bite I realized these weren’t stand alone peaches they were baking peaches. To me the fine line is the texture and sweetness. These had a mealy texture and virtually no sweetness. So I sliced up the rest of the peaches that I had on hand (3 in total) and tossed them into a greased loaf pan. In a small cereal bowl using the fork I had, I whipped up the crumble topping in less than 4 minutes the crumble was in the oven baking away. Not only is this recipe deilicious as is, it’s versitle for any fruit you have on hand that just isn’t cutting it as a stand alone fruit.
