oats

Here’s to rustic summer baking at its best! This fresh apricot crisp features sweet apricots baked under a buttery oat crisp topping, until hot and bubbly. This is a perfect laid back summer dessert to serve simply as is, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream – or a dollop of crème fraiche on top, in true French fashion.

When in season, the French love to cook up zucchini in all sorts of casseroles, gratins, tians and savory crumbles. As a popular take on this custom, this savory Zucchini Goat Cheese Crumble is a simple and delicious way to use this garden fruit – yes, fruit! With the perfect combination of tender zucchini and creamy goat cheese under a crisp topping, this is a great zucchini-packed side dish for late Summer.

This Gluten-Free Apple Crisp is proof that healthier desserts don’t have to be boring. Made of melty apples under a crisp gluten-free topping of ground almond, oats and pecans, this rustic dessert is pure comfort. I love how it’s a snap to prepare, it doesn’t have to look perfect and it’s a delicious crowd pleaser.
