Fresh fruit is topped with a completely gluten free crumble topping to make the easiest and yummiest summer Paleo Crumble dessert!
I’ve been making this crumble for years and after sharing the recipe with my mom, she’s now made it more than me. You could say this is a go-to dessert recipe in our house. We love making it with fresh summer fruit. It truly highlights the natural sweetness of fruit and has the perfect amount of doughy crumble topping.
Besides being an easy dessert recipe, the second best part about this fruit crumble is that is allergy friendly. It is completely gluten free, vegan, Paleo and Autoimmune Paleo friendly!

Fruit Crumble Ingredient Notes
Can I use other fruit?
Yes! You can truly use whatever combination of fruit you want. You’ll need about 6-8 cups of fruit. I also love making this with rhubarb. The only change you need to make if using rhubarb, is that you’ll first want to sauté the rhubarb with the filling ingredients over low heat to soften it slightly. Peach and rhubarb, strawberry and rhubarb… it’s all delicious!
Can I use frozen fruit?
Technically you can. I suggest de-frosting the fruit first and pouring off some of the juice. This crumble truly tastes best with fresh fruit, though!
What if I’m not Paleo?
If you just want to make a gluten free crumble and don’t care about it being completely grain free, feel free to use gluten free oats instead of the coconut and gluten free flour instead of the starch. You’ll still want to use tigernut or almond flour, though.
