This is a super easy and quick recipe for a gluten-free dessert that never goes out of season! It has a tender fruit filling and a crisp, golden topping full of warm spices. It's the perfect fruit dessert for potlucks, celebrations, or just because.
Ingredients
- 5 - 6 pears, peeled, seeded, and cubed
- 1 teaspoon ginger (optional), peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter (113g), diced
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- For the filling: Place the peeled, seeded, cubed pears, grated ginger, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a 9-inch baking dish or similar, and mix. Set aside.
- For the crumble topping: place the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugars, cinnamon, and cold diced butter in a food processor. Pulse until coarse crumbs form. If you don't have a food processor, mix the diced cold butter, sugars, gluten-free all-purpose flour, and almond flour in a medium bowl. Rub together with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Place the crumble evenly on top of the fruit.
- Cook for 40 minutes or until golden brown and the pears are bubbling. Let the dessert rest for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
Notes
Store the dessert covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
