Gluten Free Spiced Peach Crisp
Description
The Gluten Free Spiced Peach Crisp features fresh peaches coated lightly with lemon juice and cornstarch to enhance juiciness and help thicken the filling. The topping combines almond meal and rolled oats with brown sugar and a blend of spices including ground ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg, offering an aromatic complexity. Cold, small pieces of unsalted butter are worked into the topping until it forms a coarse crumb.
Baked at 375°F until the fruit filling bubbles and the top crisps to a golden brown, the peach crisp presents a mix of soft fruit and textured, spiced topping. The warm spices enhance the peach sweetness, making the dessert inviting and comforting.
Allowing the crisp to cool about 15 minutes before serving helps the juices settle for easier portioning. Covering with foil toward the end prevents the topping from over-browning. This crisp is suitable as a gluten-free dessert option showcasing the flavors of ripe peaches and warm spices.
