4 – 6 cups sliced fresh apples (peeling optional), or other fresh fruit such as peaches
1 cup Spectrum shortening
½ cup Turbinado or other unprocessed sugar
1/2 cup oat flour
1 1/2 cups regular or quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant)
1 teaspoon ginger
(optional: ½ teaspoon cinnamon)
¼ teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place apples in bottom of 9 x 9 inch baking pan, or equivelant sized casserole dish. In a large mixing bowl, combine all other ingredients. Rub the shortening into the flour mixture with your fingers or use a pastry cutter to cut in the shortening until you have pea-sized lumps of flour and shortening. Spread crumb mixture evenly over the top of the fruit. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, until the fruit bubbles up around the sides of the pan and the crisp is golden brown.
Serve with frozen rice “ice cream.”

Unfortunately most oat flours and oatmeals are not gluten free. There are some “wheat free” brands but very few that are truly gluten free. Looks like a yummy recipe though!
Bob’s Red Mill sells oatmeal and oat flour that is certified gluten-free. It is available in most health food stores and some well-stocked grocery stores.
