Gluten Free Cherry Almond Crumble
Delicious cherry crumble that is filled with juicy cherry flavors and is topped with crunchy almond crumble to complete the ensemble of taste and texture.
Equipment
- 1 big pot to boil the cherries
- 1 medium-sized mixing bowl for the crumb top
- 1 cherry pitter (if using fresh cherries)
Ingredients
Cherry Filling
- 1200 grams (6 cups) cherries fresh or frozen
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoon cornflour
- juice of ½ lemon
Crumb Topping
- 150 grams gluten free flour no cups measurement because they are generally inconsistent with GF flour
- 100 grams (¼ cup) cold butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 70 grams (5 tbsp) brown sugar
- 100 grams (1 cup) gluten free oats
- 50 grams (½ cup) chopped almonds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- If you are using fresh cherries for this recipe, you will need to pit them first. Use a cherry pitter or any other tool that works for you. I used an old vegetable peeler that has a sharp narrow end!
- Combine the pitted cherries, the lemon juice, the sugar, and the corn flour in a big pot and let the cherries soak for 20-60 minutes. After that boil the cherry mixture for 10-15 minutes and set aside.
- Combine the gluten free flour, oats, salt, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter cut into cubes in a medium mixing bowl. Combine the ingredients with your hands breaking up all the butter lumps until everything is nicely incorporated. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350F/170C. Grease the baking dish and place the cherries on the bottom of it. Then, spread the crumble topping onto the cherries, cover with the chopped almonds, and pop your gluten free cherry crumble into the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is starting to brown. Serve hot with some ice cream on the side!
Notes
- Use fresh cherries for the best flavor.
- Don’t skip the lemon juice as it does bring the flavor up a notch!
- Serve hot with vanilla ice cream on the side.
- You can add a teaspoon of vanilla, just don’t use the cheap vanilla flavorings as it will make your dessert taste like lipstick and not vanilla! I instead prefer to skip this step if I don’t have good quality vanilla extract on hand.
- If you are using frozen cherries make sure to defrost them or bake the crumble a bit longer.
