GLUTEN-FREE APPLE-BERRY CRUMBLE
Fruit crumbles are so delicious and versatile. Your choice of fruits are endless! You can enjoy this one anytime of the year. I used frozen berries in my recipe but you can use seasonal fruits in the summer, stone fruits in the fall and frozen fruits in the winter. Also, this recipe is gluten-free!
If you’re feeling extra fancy you can enjoy it with some ice cream or coconut whip topping.
