Plum Crisp - GF

Our plum tree is being bountiful with yummy fruit! I wanted to make something yummy for dessert tonight, so I got out my Cooking with Coconut Flour cookbook and looked up a recipe for Peach Crisp. I figured the plums would work in place of the plums and it turned out scrumptious!

Gluten Free Plump Crisp


Filling
4 cups plums, pitted and sliced
1 tablespoon xanthan gum (or 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot
flour)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup agave or honey


Topping
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
3/4 cup sucanut or coconut sugar crystals
1/2 cup sifted coconut flour
3/4 cup grated or flaked coconut
1/2 cup butter or coconut oil, softened
Dash of salt

In a bowl, mix the filling ingredients. Arrange plum mixture in a
8x8x2-inch baking dish and set aside. Mix all the topping ingredients together
and layer on top of the plums. Bake at 375 degree for 35 minutes or until
topping is browned. Serve with whipped cream, optional.


Substitute the plums with peaches, apples or cherries if
desired.
