Notes

NOTE: I recommend any good all-purpose GF flour. My preference is Cup4Cup, although I used Bob's Red Mill brand for this recipe. 
 
NOTE: You can use all-purpose flour if you don’t have gluten intolerance.
 
NOTE: If you want a thinner topping, I recommend halving the cobbler ingredients. It still will provide a nice, crunchy topping, but won't be quite as thick as a "cobbler" topping. 
 
NOTE: I ran out of fresh basil and had to settle for about 1/2 cup.
