Whenever we go to potlucks and parties, I love when people make any kind of crisp for dessert. Unfortunately, since our family has become gluten free, I know that most people use ingredients with gluten, so I steer clear.

However, now, I can make a scrumptious alternative that everyone enjoys whether they are gluten free or not. That’s assuming I can keep Mr. Fearless Dining out of it long enough for me to serve it!

This homemade gluten free blueberry cobbler is another delicious dessert to try. It can also be made in a skillet!

Is oatmeal gluten free?

This is one of the most common questions I get from people.

Oatmeal is naturally gluten free; however, because it’s processed in large factories it may come in contact with gluten. The best thing to do is only cook with oatmeal that has been certified gluten free. This will be the best protection and keep your stomach safe from the havoc gluten can wreak on you. Here are some great certified gluten free brands of oats.

Recipe step by step directions:

Step 1: Depending on the size of your apricots, half the apricots and remove the seeds. Our tree's apricots are on the small side so I didn't need to cut them further. If your apricots are large, cut them into slices. Place them into a cast iron skillet or baking dish.

Step 2: In a bowl, mix up the crisp topping and mix. Add the melted coconut oil and stir. Sprinkle the crisp topping over the apricots and bake at 350º F for 22-25 minutes until the apricots are cooked and the crisp is slightly bubbly.

Step 3: Be careful not to over-cook or your crisp mixture will burn. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream on top!

Step 4: Sprinkle the crisp topping over the apricots and bake at 350º F for 22-25 minutes until the apricots are cooked and the crisp is slightly bubbly.

If apricots aren’t in season or you just prefer other types of fruit, don’t worry! You can make this gluten-free crisp with several different fruits.

Tips and Recipe FAQ:

How long does apricot crisp last?

LOL, in our house it doesn't last more than a few minutes. Typically, leftover gluten free apricot crisp will last 2-3 days. When it starts turning bad and bacteria begin growing, you will notice that there may be mold growing. For sure throw it out if you ever notice this.

Don’t be alarmed if the apricot crisp becomes a little watery at the beginning that is just the fruit and sugar separating and it’s totally normal. You can just heat it up, and some of the water should evaporate.

What are fruit crisps?

Fruit crisps are a decadent dessert that is loaded with fruit, oats, and sugar. You can make all different kinds of gluten free fruit crisps. Just like this apricot crisp, they are baked and have a sweet flavor that is often served hot with a helping of ice cream.

Do fruit crisps need to be refrigerated?

This gluten free apricot crisp doesn’t have to be refrigerated after it’s cooked. However, many people prefer the flavor and texture of cold crisps.

So, basically, you can refrigerate or not based on your preference.
Whether you refrigerate the apricot crisp or not, make sure you save any leftovers in an airtight container. Moisture and air will make it age faster, and it won’t be as good.

How do you reheat a fruit crisp?

To warm it back up, you can toss it in the microwave for a few seconds or put it back on the oven at 325 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes.

Can you use other fruits?

You can use any stone fruit or apples to make this recipe! Here are my favorites: blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, and plums.
