Berry Crisp Recipe Low Carb & Delicious by Gordon Ramsay

Low Carb & Delicious Berry Crisp


Low Carb Journey And My Berry Crisp Recipe

So most of y’all know that I’ve been low carb for almost three months now and I love it. Read about my journey at the bottom of my low carb recipe post (click here). But let me tell ya, a girl has needs. Fortunately for me delicious recipes like berry crisps can be low carb and I have found that eating low carb is one of the easiest ways of eating I have ever adopted.

So today, we are going to address my need for fruit crisps because it was just about getting the best of me and I hit it out of the park with this little experiment of mine. 

OH mercy, this berry crisp recipe is so so so good!

I really enjoyed the added flavor my low carb ingredients gave to the topping. In place of ice cream, I poured a little heavy cream over my serving like my ancestors used to do, and that tasted like melted ice cream and just sent this over the top. Heavy cream is a welcome bonus when you are eating keto!

Low Carb & Delicious Berry Crisp

Let’s talk about the ingredients for Berry Crisp Recipe that make it Low Carb

Almond Flour/Meal can be found at Wal Mart now.

Almond flour or meal is a very nutritious gluten free alternative to wheat based flour.  It can be a little tricky to bake with but for our purposes here is was great. 

I have also found it at every other grocery store I shop at. Wal Mart has it near the flour and Kroger has it in the health food section. This is basically ground almonds and is WONDROUS as a crisp topping because of the toasted nut flavor it adds.

When it comes to sweeteners,  you can use Stevia.  But in this recipe I am using Swerve because it essentially has zero net carbs. Swerve is a little pricey but a little goes a long way.

Fruit is pretty carb rich so I have been avoiding it but berries are among the lowest carb fruits and are okay once you get the ball rolling and have been eating low carb for a while. Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries – whatever cranks yer tractor is fine here.

Ingredients for Berry Crisp Recipe that is low carb and delicious

  • Almond meal/flour
  • Sweetener of your choice (Stevia, Swerve (used here), Monk Fruit, etc)
  • Softened butter
  • Vanilla,
  • Cinnamon,
  • Chopped pecans,
  • 2-3 cups of berries of your choice.  Frozen berries are fine to use in this, just add a few minute extra to the cooking time.

Low Carb & Delicious Berry Crisp

  • Place berries in the bottom of a pie plate.
  • Sprinkle just a bit of sweetener over them if you like. I added a teaspoon of Swerve

Note: It depends on your berries whether or not you will end up with a lot of juice in the bottom of your pie plate, my blackberries burst forth with juice with each bite but they weren’t drowning in it like you are used to seeing with super sweet crisps and cobblers. They were so good, though! SOOOO GOOD!

Low Carb & Delicious Berry Crisp

  • In a medium bowl, place almond meal, cinnamon, sweetener, vanilla, and butter.
  • Cut this together with a fork until it looks kind of like this the picture above.

It won’t be dry like a normal crisp topping, but will be a bit more like cookie dough.

  • Now stir in the chopped pecans.

IT IS SO GOOD! I could just eat the bowl. Also, once you taste it you can decide if you want to add more sweetener at this point.

Low Carb & Delicious Berry Crisp

  • Now pinch off bits of this and blop them all over the top.
  • Blop! Blop! Until the top is all covered.
  • Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until it is lightly browned on top.

A few minutes before it is done, send your entire family out of the house on an errand. 😉

Low Carb & Delicious Berry Crisp

And enjoy a delicious berry crisp low carb and deeeelicious 🙂

Easy Apple Crisp | 101 Cooking For Two by Gordon Ramsay

Introduction and My Rating

You can call it apple crisp or apple crumble; this is a classic fall dessert that will become a favorite for the entire family. Use it for every day, for “pass a dish” occasions, or just to take it to friends.

It was apple season here in Michigan, and I was in great need of a simple apple recipe. A friend would frequently bring a simular simple dish occasionally to the office to share. The hunt was on.

My first stop, as usual, was Cooks Illustrated. I find Quick Dutch Apple Crisp. I liked the name. The quick did it for me, but the 13 ingredients, many of which I didn’t have, did not do it for me.

Some looking around and I had just what I wanted with Allrecipes.com Apple Crisp – Perfect and Easy only six ingredients and great ratings. So after a few nips and tucks, here is my adaption.

My Rating

My rating system. Great 5 out of 5


A very nice five. Now we don’t do desserts very often, but we will do this more often. I have to start keeping ice cream in the house.

♨️Cobblers, Crumbles, vs. Crisps

Cobblers are easy; they have a biscuit or cake-like topping.

Crumbles and crisps are frequently used interchangeably. But some feel that the differentiating factor is crumbles have oats in the topping and crisps do not. This seems to be not widely accepted; in fact, almost nobody follows that differentiation.

So in my world, this is a crisp. But call it a crumble if you want.

🍎The Apples

Use the apples you have and love. I think an apple that is firmer and tarter is the best choice here. If you are buying apples just for this recipe, then some good choices are Cortland, Granny Smith, and Ida Red.

I generally have other apples around and use them. The apples I would normally not use would be Red Delicious or Macintosh.

You may want to adjust the sugar for the sweetness of the apples, especially if they are very tart or very sweet.

This recipe will use about 3 cups of sliced apples. It can be a bit more or less. That will be about two large or three medium apples.

Some people will not peel the apples, but I highly suggest peeling your apples.

👨‍🍳Size

This is already a smaller recipe.  It fits nicely in an 8 by 8 inches baking pan. You can also use a 6 by 9 oblong dish or 9 inches round.

This recipe doubles easily and fits nicely in a 9 by 13 standard cake or casserole pan. You can even make it smaller if you have a correct pan.

The nine servings I state for this recipe is a bit arbitrary so that is a soft number depending on how you want to use this.

❄️Storage

After cooking, refrigerate for 3-4 days covered tightly. Reheat briefly in a microwave.

It can freeze for about 3 months. If you freeze it, though before reheating.

Pro Tips

  1. This fits nicely in an 8×8 pan but 9X6 or 9 inch round will work. A 9×9 will be thinner and not suggested.
  2. This is an easy recipe to adjust up or down. A double recipe fits nicely in a standard 9 by 13 cake or casserole pan.
  3. Use the apples you love but I suggest not to use Red Delicious or Macintosh.
  4. Cut the sugar down to 3/4 cup if the apples are very sweet.
  5. The amount of apple slices can vary up or down some.
  6. A bit of cooling before serving helps it hold together.
  7. Store refrigerated airtight for 3-4 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months.
  8. Reheats nicely in the microwave.
