- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the water and cornstarch, then add the granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix well. Add the sliced apples and blueberries. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.
- Transfer the fruit mixture to a greased 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
- In another bowl, mix together gluten-free oats, almond flour, brown sugar, melted coconut oil or vegan butter, cinnamon, and salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the gluten-free crisp topping evenly over the fruit filling in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown, and the fruit is bubbly and tender.
