Apple, cherry, and blueberry crisp is a dessert for anytime of year!
This crisp is a combination of apples, berries, sugar, a bit of arrowroot to thicken and some bright zest of orange and lemon. It’s topped with some almond flour, butter and sugar.
You can swap out the cherries and blueberries for other fruits such as pears, blackberries, or raspberries.
It’s baked until golden brown on top. You can serve it alone, with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or a drizzle of heavy, raw cream.
Here are some additional fruit desserts you might enjoy:
Peach Cobbler
Lemon Cream Pots
Fruit Pizza
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Apple, Cherry and Blueberry Crisp (Gluten-Free)
You can use whatever combination of fruit you like. No need to thaw the fruit before mixing. I prefer to serve my crisps with a drizzle of fresh cream.

- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
- 1/4 cup maple sugar, sucanat, or organic cane sugar
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot
- 1/2 teaspoon unflavored grass-fed gelatin (this ingredient acts as the “gluten” to bind the flours together)

Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown on top and bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes. Serve.
