| Easy Gluten Free Peach Dessert |
Fresh peaches are in season here in central Virginia. I think my favorite way to eat them is straight off the tree! My next favorite way is to combine them with a nice pie crust and put some homemade ice cream on top! Speaking of homemade ice cream, fresh peach ice cream is so good! I could go on like this for a while.... Ok, back to my recipe. It is very easy and tastes great. The version I am making today is the gluten free one. You can substitute the gluten free baking mix for regular, all purpose flour, with no problem. When peaches go out of season, you can substitute another fruit.
Easy Gluten Free Peach Dessert
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of fresh peaches (skins & pits removed and peaches sliced thin)
- 1/2 cup of agave nectar (it is an alternative to white sugar or you may substitute sugar free sweetener).
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (you can substitute tapioca starch if you want)
- 1/2 cup real butter or margarine (at least 65% fat margarine or else it will contain too much water)
- 1 1/4 cup gluten free baking mix or flour (I use Arrowhead Mills gluten free baking mix)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- Preheat oven to 350F
2. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or tapioca starch and cook until slightly thick. Remove from heat and pour into 8x8 inch greased baking dish.
3. Make the topping by combining the softened butter, gluten free flour and brown sugar together with a fork or pastry blender until crumbly.
4. Sprinkle topping over peaches, completely covering them.
5. Place dish in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes. The crust won't be golden brown, but the filling will be bubbling up around the edges of the dish. Yum!
6. Serve warm with ice cream, frozen yogurt or as is!
