Blueberry Apple Crisp

This is a delicious, nutritious fruit dessert that will please any crowd. It’s based on a recipe in The Moosewood Restaurant Cooking for Health. I have several Moosewood cookbooks sitting on my kitchen shelf, and they’ve inspired some of my favorite recipes over the years.
I swapped out the refined sugar and oil in their recipe to make this into a real food fruit crisp. If you don’t have apples or blueberries on hand, you can substitute other fruit for the filling. This crisp is gluten-free and dairy-free, unless you top it with whipped cream or ice cream. I won’t blame you if you do, but it’s also great plain.

Oh man! This looks onto of this world. I am going to have to pick up some blueberries to pair with my CSA apples and make this right away 🙂 Thanks for sharing and linking up…

Yum! Tried this tonight with wonderful results. I didn’t have almond meal onhand so I used WW flour. Luckily none of my family have gluten issues so it wasn’t a big deal. Thank you for the great recipe!

Thanks for letting me know! I’m so glad you liked it.

Apple crisp is one of those desserts I love, but only if someone else makes it! I’ve never had a gluten-free version, though, I guess I’ll have to make this myself. 🙂

The only part I don’t like is peeling the apples, but once I get past that part it’s a breeze!

I use one of those apple corer/peeler/slicers. It’s such a time saver and so easy to clean up! Matter of fact, I used it this morning to make a batch of carrot apple ginger cakes and apple cake. We had friends coming over for coffee, so what would normally take 4 or 5 times as long was done in less than a minute per apple!

I used to have one of those, but it broke. I should pick up another one since I find myself grumbling and complaining every time I peel apples.

Many people don’t peel the apples. Slice them somewhat thin and you won’t notice. You will, however, get more nutrition and save time.

I love a good crisp, and I have yet to try blueberry crisp. Looks like that’ll be next on my list!

I love crisp too. I seem to always have a bag of blueberries in the freezer, and they come in handy when I get a hankering for this dessert.
