CRANBERRY-PEAR CRUMBLE BARS



Cranberry-Pear Crumble Bars image

Sweet pears and tart cranberries pair perfectly in these treats, which are part bar cookie, and part fruit crisp. Here, both crust and crumble topping are made from the same almond flour-rolled oat mixture mixture, giving it a nutty flavor. Precooking the filling allows the fruit to soften and release some juices ahead of time so the bottom crust stays nice and crisp. The result is a chewy, fruity cookie that just as easily a perfect afternoon snack as it is a paired with some ice cream for dessert. Choose pears that are on the firm side of ripe: Comice and Anjou both work great.

Time 1h

Yield One 9x9-inch pan

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound/454 grams pears (2 large), ripe but firm
2 cups/200 grams fresh cranberries
1/2 cup/101 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
2 cups/256 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/220 grams light brown sugar, packed
1 cup/112 grams almond flour
1 cup/99 grams rolled oats
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup/227 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Prepare filling: Peel, core and chop the pears into 1/2-inch pieces. You should have about 2 1/2 cups of chopped pears. Add pears, cranberries, sugar and orange juice to a heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until pears soften, cranberries burst, and juices are thickened and jammy, 7 to 10 minutes. Add vanilla, orange zest and fresh ginger and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let cool while you prepare the crust.
  • Prepare crust and crumble: In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, almond flour, oats and salt. Stir to combine. Add butter and almond extract, and stir until crumbs are well moistened.
  • Reserve about 2 1/2 cups/360 grams of the mixture for the topping. Pour remaining crumbs into prepared dish and press them into an even layer. Bake the crust until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Spoon filling (it's O.K. if it's still warm) evenly over the hot crust, top with reserved crumbs, and return pan to oven. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the bars cool slightly before cutting and serving.

GLUTEN-FREE APPLE, PEAR AND CRANBERRY PECAN CRUMBLE



Gluten-Free Apple, Pear and Cranberry Pecan Crumble image

This has moved to the top of my favorite crumbles list. I have made apple crumbles before, but I hadn't cooked the apples first in my other recipes. It makes a huge difference in the sweetness and comfort level of the dish. The pear also contributes to the overall sweetness of the dessert and I love the tangy flavor of the dried cranberries. I have used a gluten-free mix of certified oats (produced in a gluten-free facility) and millet flour, which makes a crumble topping that is truly crumbly. Both tender apples like McIntosh, Gala, Macoun and Cortland, as well as firmer apples like Braeburns and Fujis work well in this dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/4 cups / 125 grams rolled oats
1/2 cup / 70 grams quinoa flour or millet flour (grind quinoa or millet in a spice mill to make the flour)
1/3 cup / 63 grams raw brown (turbinado) sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup / 30 grams pecans
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 pounds / 900 grams / 4 large apples, peeled and cut in approximately 1/2-inch dice (see note)
2 tablespoons / 60 grams unsalted butter
2 tablespoons / 30 grams raw brown (turbinado) sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 large ripe but firm pear, peeled, cored and diced
1 cup / 60 grams dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Make crumble topping first. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment. Place oats, quinoa flour, sugar, salt and nutmeg in a food processor fitted with steel blade and pulse several times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is evenly distributed throughout the grain mix. The mixture should have a crumbly consistency. You can also combine ingredients in a standing mixer fitted with the paddle and mix at low speed until mixture has a crumbly consistency.
  • Spread topping over parchment-covered baking sheet in an even layer. Place in oven and bake 10 minutes. Rotate pan, stir mixture, and bake another 10 minutes, until nicely browned. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Stir in pecans and lemon zest.
  • Turn oven up to 375 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Cook apples in 2 batches. Heat half the butter over medium-high heat in a large heavy skillet until it foams and foam subsides. Add apples and wait until they begin to sizzle, then add half the sugar and cook, stirring and tossing in the pan, until apples just begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with remaining butter, apples and sugar. When second batch has caramelized, add first batch back into pan, then add lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg and stir together for another minute. Stir in diced pear and dried cranberries and stir everything together. Remove from heat and scrape into buttered baking dish.
  • Spread crumble topping over apple mixture in an even layer. Place in oven and bake 30 minutes, until bubbling and top is nicely browned. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

PEAR AND CRANBERRY CRUMBLE



PEAR AND CRANBERRY CRUMBLE image

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the Filling:
4 ripe but still firm pears
1 heaping cup fresh cranberries
3 tablespoons raw sugar (granulated or brown sugar will also work)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
sprinkling of fresh lemon juice
For the Topping:
1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup raw sugar (just use more brown sugar if you don't have raw)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup oats
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature and cut into cubes

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Take out an 8×8-inch baking dish and set aside. First prepare the filling. Cut the top stem and bottom butt off of each pear. The bottom will give you a stable base to peel the pears. Use a small paring knife to peel the pears. Slice each pear in half. Use a small teaspoon to gently run down the length of the inside of the pear, removing the fiberous inside spine, and then scooping out the seeds. Dice the pears into hearty bite-size chunks and place in baking dish. Pour cranberries into dish. Top with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss lightly and set aside. Next prepare the topping. Whisk together flour, brown sugar, raw sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and oats. Add unsalted butter and incorporate with your fingers. Work the butter into the topping mixture until it is well incorporated and some butter bits are still the size of oat flakes or small peas. Add about 1/3 of the topping mixture to the pear and cranberry mixture. Toss to incorporate. Place the remaining topping on top of the mixture. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until bubbly and delicious smelling. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 20 minutes before serving. This dish is perfect served warm with vanilla ice cream. Crumble lasts for up to 3 days, covered, in the fridge.
