Apple and Pear Crisp
Apple and Pear Crisp
This sweet apple and pear dessert is full of flavor and has a lovely texture. It is the perfect way to celebrate the fresh fruit of fall. (this recipe was inspired by a CookieandKate recipe)
Ingredients
The Fabulous Filling
- 2 large apples any variety you like
- 2 large pears unripe is best
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch or corn starch
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
The Terrific Topping
- 1 cup Gluten Free Rolled Oats I like Trader Joes or Bob's Red Mill
- 1/2 cup almond flour

- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons melted butter

- Peel and chop the apples and pears into a medium dice
- Add the arrowroot (or cornstarch),maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon and allspice to the apples and pears
- Mix well and be sure all the fruit is coated
- Spread the fruit mixture into a 9x12 (or something like it) baking pan
Make the Terrific Topping
- Mix the rolled oats, almond flour, chopped pecans (or walnuts) and brown sugar in a small bowl. Mix to break up the sugar and combine the ingredients
- Add the melted butter and yogurt to the topping mixture
- Stir the topping and be sure it's all combined and coated with the butter and yogurt
- Spread the topping evenly over the fruit in the baking dish
- Bake the crisp for about 45-50 minutes or until it's toasty and the fruit is hot and bubbly. Enjoy the incredible fragrance.
- Serve to the people you like best! I love to serve it with a small scoop of good vanilla ice cream. So delicious.
