Gluten Free Apple Pear Crisp

This gluten free Apple Pear Crisp is made with gluten free flour, almond flour, and honey instead of granulated sugar. It’s lightly sweet and crisp with a tender apple and pear mixture in the middle of a gluten free crumble. This recipe is delicious and when my friends tasted it, they all wanted the recipe.

Gluten-Free Apple and Pear Crisp

The best way to enjoy this apple and pear crisp with a hint of cinnamon is warm, topped with a scoop of your preferred allergen-safe ice cream.

Makes: 8 servings
Free of: gluten and all top allergens

Ingredients

Apple and Pear Filling

• 4 apples, approximately 2 lbs (see Recipe Tips)
• 3 Bosc pears, about 1 1/2 lbs
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 2 tbsp cornstarch (see Recipe Notes)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp pure maple syrup

Streusel Topping

• 1/2 cup allergy-friendly GF flour blend (or wheat flour if not gluten-free)
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup gluten-free regular oats
• 6 tbsp cold dairy-free, soy-free margarine, such as Earth Balance, cut in cubes

Recipe Tips

I like to combine Granny Smith apples with one of the following varieties for this crisp: honey crisp, pink lady, or gala.

Use 2 tablespoons of arrowroot powder in place of cornstarch if you have dietary restrictions about corn.

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees for the filling. Apples should be peeled, cored, and sliced in 1/4-inch thick lengths. Next, cut slices crosswise in half. About 6 cups of apple slices will be consumed.
2. Pears should be peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Next, cut slices crosswise in half. There should be about 4 cups of sliced pears. Lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, salt, and maple syrup should all be added to the fruit in a big bowl. Toss gently to evenly distribute spices on fruit.
3. Fill a 2-quart (1 1/8-inch) baking dish with the mixture. Place aside.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the topping ingredients: flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and oats. Mix thoroughly.
5. Margarine should be chopped into pea-sized bits in the topping using your hands or a pastry blender.
6. Sprinkle topping over fruit evenly.
7. Bake the fruit until it is soft, the filling bubbles around the edges, and the topping is golden brown, about 50 to 55 minutes.
8. After taking the crisp out of the oven, give it a 10- to 15-minute rest. Serve with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or an allergy-friendly substitute.

instructions

1. 350°F for the oven’s temperature.
2. Combine the apples, pears, coconut sugar, tapioca flour, ginger, vanilla extract, vanilla powder, or paste in a medium bowl. Coat the fruit evenly with the mixture by stirring. While assembling the crisp topping, spread the entire fruit filling into an 8″ (or comparable sized) pan.
3. Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and coconut sugar in a another basin. Add the coconut oil and mix it into the flour using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse meal and no dry flour is visible. Add the walnuts and almonds.
4. Bake the fruit for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crumble topping is evenly browned and bubbling. To prevent burning, tent the skillet with aluminum foil halfway through if the topping is browning too quickly.
5. Before serving warm, allow it cool somewhat. For up to three days, keep leftovers in the refrigerator.
