Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- strainer
- Wooden Spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Knife
- Cutting Board
- Pie dish
Ingredients
Filling
- 6 Rockit Mini Apples or use 3-4 regular sized apples
- 3 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 tbsp tapioca flour sub cornstarch
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 tsp lemon extract
- ½ tsp lemon zest
For the Oatmeal Streusel Topping
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 cup gluten-free old fashioned oats
- 1 cup gluten-free all purpose flour
- ¾ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a pie dish with cooking spray, butter, or coconut oil.
- Wash the apples and strawberries. Remove the core from the apples and slice into very thin pieces. I like apples baked with their skin on; however, if you do not, remove it prior to baking. Remove the stem from the strawberries and cut into thin slices.
- Place fruit in a large mixing bowl and toss with cornstarch, white sugar, lemon extract, and lemon zest.
- Pour the coated fruit mixture into the greased pie dish. In that same mixing bowl, add all of the dry ingredients: brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt.
- Toss them together, and then pour in the MELTED coconut oil. Fold together until all dry ingredients are coated with the oil. It will be a crumble-like texture.
- Then, dump Oatmeal Streusel Topping onto fruit and use your hands to spread the crumble around for an even distribution.
- Cover the fruit crisp with tin foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the tinfoil and then bake for another 20 minutes until the fruit is tender.
- Enjoy warm - top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or just with a spoon!

Notes
If the Oatmeal Streusel mixture is too moist or resembling a wet sand-like texture, add all purpose flour 1 tablespoon at a time until it’s dried up a bit.
You can store it in the pie dish you baked it in covered with cling wrap in the refrigerator. Or transfer to an airtight container for up to 5 days.
It’s best to reheat this Strawberry Apple Crisp in an oven safe dish in the oven at 400°F for 8-10 minutes. This will ensure the oat topping stays crispy.
Gluten-free substitutes in this recipe are 1:1 (flour, oats, and cornstarch).
