Low FODMAP Cranberry Crisp with Grapes & Citrus
This recipe for Low FODMAP Cranberry Crisp with Grapes & Citrus came about when I had extra cranberries leftover from another recipe (please see our Cranberry Almond Buttermilk Bundt Cake).
I looked into the fridge and I had some black grapes that were on their way out and I had a few oranges hanging around. I started envisioning the combo in my head, cooked together and nestled under a brown sugar, oat crisp topping.

Low FODMAP Cranberry Crisp with Grapes & Citrus
You don't need apples to make a fantastic crisp! Behold our Low FODMAP Cranberry Crisp with Grapes & Citrus!
Ingredients:
Fruit Filling:
- 2 cups (300 g) black or red seedless grapes, halved
- 1 cup (106 g) fresh or frozen cranberries, picked over washed and dried
- 3 navel oranges, peeled, sectioned and sections halved crosswise
- ¼ cup (54 g) firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Pinch salt
Crisp Topping:
- 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter
- Scant ½ cup (100 g) firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup (49 g) low FODMAP gluten-free flour, such as Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour
- Heaping ⅓ cup (35 g) old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant or quick oats); use gluten-free if following a gluten-free diet
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
-
Position rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Coat the inside of a ceramic or ovenproof glass 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with nonstick spray; set aside.
-
For the Fruit Filling: Toss the grapes, cranberries and orange sections together in a bowl. Add brown sugar and cornstarch and fold everything together well. Set aside to sit while you make the topping.
-
For the Crisp Topping: Melt the butter in a medium-size microwave-safe mixing bowl in the microwave on low. (Or melt the butter in a small saucepan on your stove top, if you like, then transfer to a medium-size mixing bowl.) Whisk in the brown sugar, then whisk in the flour, oats, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Use your hands to help form clumps.
-
Assembly: Scrape fruit mixture into prepared pan. Scatter the topping evenly over the fruit. Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. The Low FODMAP Cranberry Crisp with Grapes & Citrus may be served warm, at room temperature, or re-warmed after cooling and is best the day it is made. You can store it at room temperature lightly covered with foil overnight but the topping will lose a bit of its crispness.

Tips
- I love this warmed for breakfast with a dollop if thick, plain, lactose-free yogurt.
- The topping is very easy to double. You can store the 2nd batch in a zip-top bag in the freezer for near instant crisp creation. No need to defrost. It will warm up enough while the oven preheats.

When making this crisp, I used the ingredients listed, but I didn’t melt the butter; I chilled it. I cut the chilled butter into half-inch cubes, then pulsed it in the food processor with the other topping ingredients. After forming this mixture into clumps, I chilled them while mixing the filling ingredients. Otherwise, I followed the recipe as written. When I served the dessert, that topping—crisp and sweet—was the best part. The filling was watery and at once too sweet and too sour (when I bit into a cranberry).
Hi Tina, as you can see in the pic, we like the filling juicy. I also find that overnight, a lot of the moisture gets absorbed, if you do not eat all at once. The filling is tart, since the topping is so sweet.
You’re right. This crisp was more solid the next morning. My husband and I enjoyed it for breakfast.
If you have any leftover, try with some yogurt!
