Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh fruit instead of canned pie filling?

Absolutely! You can substitute the Jiffy cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix available at most grocery stores. Just ensure that all other ingredients, like the fruit filling and butter, are gluten-free as well. This way, you can enjoy a delicious gluten-free dessert without compromising on taste.
How can I make this fruit crisp more decadent?
To make your Easy Fruit Crisp more decadent, try drizzling some caramel sauce over the top before serving or mixing in some chocolate chips with the pecans.
