Alisa Fleming ~ Some of you might assume cobbler is a fall dessert, but it is a four-season treat in my opinion. As spring and summer set in, what better way is there to enjoy a cool and creamy scoop of dairy-free ice cream than atop an apple crisp or gluten-free cobbler, like this one …
This recipe was shared with us by So Delicious Dairy Free and created by my friend, Amie Valpone. Like me, Amie loves to put oats in just about every baked goodie. Her hearty gluten-free cobbler is like a cross between a crispy crumble and a biscuit topping. She also opts to swap some of the sweetener for a stevia blend to keep the sugars low. If you aren’t a stevia fan, you can use the granulated sweetener of your choice.
If you don’t have a need for a gluten-free cobbler, you can substitute regular all-purpose flour or whole wheat pastry flour for the gluten-free all-purpose flour. Note that this gluten-free cobbler recipe is also vegan and soy-free, particularly if you use a coconut-based dairy-free ice cream like So Delicious, and their almond or coconut milk beverage.

And there is no need to feel married to the fall fruits. If you can’t find apples and cranberries locally, or prefer a sunnier fruit, peaches and other stone fruits would be an amazing base for this gluten-free cobbler.

I love cobblers all four seasons also! The apple-cranberry combo is the perfect blend of sweet-tart!
