Fruit Crisp

4-5 Apples peeled, sliced and cored. Pears, peaches or apricots could be used too.
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup quinoa flakes or certified GF oats [we use Bob's Red Mill].
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/4 Featherlight flour mix*
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1/4 cup chopped nuts or coconut (optional)

Yield: 2 7oz Corningware Ramekins

Combine Quinoa, brown sugar, GF flour, cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter/margarine till mixture is like course crumbs. Stir in nuts or coconut (if used).

Place sliced fruit ramekins. Cover fruit with the topping mixture.

Baking at 375 for 30-35 min or till fruit is tender and topping is golden.

*Featherlight Mix

Source: Bette Hagman, The Gluten Free Gourmet

3 cups rice flour
3 cups tapioca starch
3 cups cornstarch
3 tablespoons potato FLOUR (Not starch)

Al n Peg Notes:

10/5/08 - Peg made this today and used 1/2 BRM Oats and 1/2 Quinoa Flakes. I think it's the perfect crunch-chew ratio Wink

All BRM Oats make the topping very chewy.

Since there's only 2 of us, we like to make this in the ramekins. We fill the ramekins pretty full Very Happy

. Eating a whole ramekin in 1 sitting is a lot - unless you're pretty hungry Wink

. If we don't finish it, we'll cover it and put it in the fridge for later.

I vote for a TNT for this recipe.

This is a great recipe. Did you modify it from Better Homes and Gardens by any chance? I made it today with peaches, and almonds for the nuts. I also baked it in a 9x13 pan, which took 40 minutes. My BH&G cookbok also recommends the following fruits

* 5 C. fresh or frozen blueberries tossed with 3 T. flour (use same flour mix as in above recipe)

* 5 C. pitted tart cherries tossed with 1/2 c. sugar and 3 T flour (use same flour mix as in above recipe)

* 5 C. fresh or frozen sliced rhubarb tossed with 1 c. sugar and 3 T flour (use same flour mix as in above recipe)

Heheheeee

Peg sez YUP! We got it for wedding gift Smile

Glad you liked it. There's no way we'd ever be able to eat that much. It tends to soggy and soupy - them's not good eats. I'm sure in your house it disappears in no time Very Happy

Peg said we're gonna have to get some apples at the apple orchard this week [that's another ritual we do on this week off Smile

]

Thanks!

Have you gotten the Retro Betty Crocker Picture cook book? I got it for Peg as a gift. It's the same one Peg used growing up a child.

Ooh - that one looks neat. My husband got me this cookbook for Christmas last year. It is the one he had growing up. He has ordered me to convert a whole list of the recipes. Seems like that one was a gift for him and not me. Is that kind of like him giving me a vacuum for my birthday? Laughing

Just wanted to update this since fall is rolling around. We've been using GF oats instead of quinoa flakes - Bob's Red Mill.

My husband made apple crisp this weekend. He uses only oats no GF flour! I love it. Warm it up with a scoop of ice cream, HEAVEN!

Just a note: BRM Oats are rather large and rather chewy...

has anyone tried this with Quinoa flakes? Just curious how it changes the texture. They seem so much smaller than oats. I've never actually baked with them so I'm curious.

Peg's original recipe did use Q flakes. I'm thinking I might like the Q flakes version better....

Last year before I found GF oats I was making this with quinoa flakes only. I thought the quinoa flakes kind of disappeared when cooked. The flavor was still good, but the texture wasn't quite right.
