Gluten Free Friday: Blueberry Peach Crumble and a Review of Melt Spread
Author: 
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Gluten free
 
Crumbles are kind of like upside down pie....a crumble topping is really just pastry dough you're too lazy to make a crust with. Which, for someone like me who is terrified of making pie crust, makes them PERFECT. This recipe used frozen peaches and blueberries, but fresh would be marvelous. It just happened to be what I had on hand.  Servings: 4 at 376 calories and 10 grams of fat.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups frozen peaches
  • 2 Tbs lemon juice

  • ½ cup all-purpose gluten free flour

  2. Place the peaches and blueberries in a large bowl with the lemon juice, splenda, and corn starch.
  3. Toss well.
  4. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes while you work on the topping.
  5. For the topping, combine the flour, sugars, salt, and butter in a food processor or use a pastry cutter until the mixture is the size of big crumbles.

  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature.
