Oh ya, I made fruit crisp last night and it was awesome.

Mom use to make fruit crisp when it was a fridge cleaner week. You know those weeks – you need to grocery shop but don’t have room in the fridge because everything is half full, or you only have enough stuff to make a meal for 1 when you’re trying to feed 4. Crisp was her way of cleaning out the remnants of the fruit drawer before things went bad and before more was to be purchased. Mom is kind of a genius like that.

A traditional crisp has the great crumble topping that’s made with oats and butter and a little flour – SO NOT GF. Alas I have stumbled upon a great GF alternative made by our friends at Glutino. They call it Crisp and Crumble Topping Mix and sell it under their Gluten-Free Pantry line of products.

It was so very good. It doesn’t act like a traditional crisp in the that it is not as chunky on the top; but that doesn’t matter because it tastes just as good as moms. If I had any one thing to say about it, I’d say, double the butter that they tell you to use. It will help make it a little crumblier and a little less dry. In the grand scheme of GF cooking – that is not a lot of modification and it sure isn’t too much to ask for!

We found this at Superstore in their alternative foods isle. I haven’t seen it anywhere else but I’m sure we’ll start seeing it’s popularity rise. Just think of all the other things you could do with it – cake topping, desert topping, cookies, and more.

(I have photo’s to share with you, and will post those soon. Someone may have taken my camera with him when he left and isnt back yet. ~cough Fiance cough~ )
