A few months ago we shared a recipe for streusel topping, which you can use to make fruit crisps in a variety of flavours. Crisp or cobbler is the perfect easy recipe when you don't have the time or patience to make a pie, and is pretty much a no-fail dessert.

​Our household favourite is peach crisp — the sweet and soft caramelized peaches layered with the crunchy streusel creates a scrumptious and balanced texture that can't be matched.

For this recipe you can use fresh or frozen peaches (we used frozen, since the fresh ones won't be available until summer). Aside of making the topping, the hardest thing you'll have to do for this recipe is wait for it to bake. 

Prep: 5-10 minutes
Cook time: 35 minutes
Yield: 6-8 portions

Ingredients (streusel topping):

• 1 cup GF Patisserie All Purpose Flour
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp xanthan gum
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Method (streusel):

1. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, xanthan gum, cinnamon, and salt.
2. Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream.
3. Blend into the dry ingredients using a fork or a pastry blender until you have several walnut-sized chunks.

Sweet and crisp with a hint of spice, streusel topping adds a wonderful layer of texture to homemade baked goods. You can use this recipe on its own for fruit crisps, cobblers, and crumbles. Or, you can add it on top of muffins, cakes, or pies for a little extra crunch.
