gluten free fresh fruit cobbler

Sometime around mid-July every year, we pick over a gallon of black raspberries from our back yard a day, thanks to the decision to transplant three little black raspberry runners from the wild and add them to our red raspberry patch a few years ago.

We flash freeze and bag lots of them, but I also went looking for a great recipe to cook some up and enjoy them now.  I found a recipe that turned out to be wonderful once I tweaked a few things (like doubling the fruit filling based on comments).  I tried it with gluten free and vegan ingredients to meet our family members’ needs, and was delighted with the results. It’s now part of our permanent rotation and works well with any kind of fruit or a mix of all kinds.

Feel free to use the ingredients that match your family’s tastes and needs.  The recipe is remarkably versatile, easy and delicious no matter how you make it.
