Gluten Free Almond Cherry Crisp!

Got a sweet tooth but can't have the gluten? Get ready for a flavor packed dessert that'll leave you wanting more. This Gluten Free Almond Cherry Crisp will send even your gluten eating friends into a feeding frenzy.

What You'll Need:
1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
1/3 cup Chopped Pecans
6 Tbs Softened Butter
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
3 cups Cherries or Cherry Filling
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Gluten Free Oats
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Spray a 2 quart dish with oil (I used a 7 x 11 Pyrex dish).

3. In a cute bowl, mix the Almond Flour, Gluten Free oats, cinnamon and brown sugar. Then add in the butter and vanilla extract. 

4. Layer the bottom of the dish with the cherries (I used yummy Cherry Pie Filling made from Wisconsin Cherries that I ordered from a precious orchard in Door County, Wisconsin).

5. Cover the layer of cherries with the flour mixture. Do not mix.

6. Lastly, top this crisp off with the chopped pecans before popping it into the oven.

7. Bake for 30 minutes. For Cherry Crisp a la Mode, simply serve with ice cream and enjoy (I used dairy free Almond Dream Vanilla Ice Cream)!

**You can easily make this recipe dairy free by substituting the butter with canola or grapeseed oil. 
** To make this recipe, sugar free, I recommend using Xylitol derived from Birch Tree bark, not corn, to substitute for the brown sugar. Be sure to check that your cherry pie filling has no added sugar.


Yummy Cherry Pie Filling made from Door County, Wisconsin cherries!
Almond Dream is my fave & I'm a sucker for anything Vanilla flavored.

This Cherry Almond Crisp didn't stand a chance against my family!
Wishing a very Happy Birthday to my amazing sister-in-law Rebecca! We celebrated her tonight with this delicious gluten free dessert. Try this easy Gluten Free Almond Cherry Crisp and let me know what you think about it!
