Crisps are one of the best summer desserts. They come together in minutes, then can be left alone to bake. Plus, you get everything a pie has to offer in much less time and with no risk of a soggy crust. Quinoa flakes and toasted almonds give the tasy gluten-free and dairy-free topping crunch and texture. Sweetened with maple sugar and made buttery by coconut oil, it’s a good recipe to have on hand for any summer fruit combination. Try it with any summer fruit combination, like peaches and blueberries, blackberries and apricots, or mixed plums.
