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

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.

APPLE, CRANBERRY, AND PEAR CRISP



Apple, Cranberry, and Pear Crisp image

This is a variation of the traditional Apple Crisp that I dreamed up one day when I didn't have enough apples, and there were pears in the fruit bowl, and leftover toasted walnuts from something else. We love it. Cranberries can be substituted with raisins or dried cherries. Comice pears taste best with this recipe.

GLUTEN-FREE APPLE CRUMBLE



Gluten-Free Apple Crumble image

In this unusual recipe by Alice Medrich, adapted from her gluten-free cookbook "Flavor Flours" (Artisan 2014), a combination of white rice flour and oat flour make for an apple crumble with a distinct crunch and butterscotch-like flavor. Ms. Medrich also uses an interesting technique with the apples, baking them halfway through before adding the crumble mixture, which keeps the walnuts from becoming too dark. She also doesn't peel the apples, though you may if you'd rather. If you can't find oat flour, you can make your own by grinding rolled oats in a food processor or blender until powdery.

APPLE PEAR CRISP (GLUTEN FREE)



Apple Pear Crisp (Gluten Free) image

I am not gluten intolerant, but I do like to bake with different types of flours. I have made this with more pears than apples, more apples than pears, Asian pears, Bartlett pears, and an assortment of apples. You can vary the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the fruit. Add fresh or frozen cranberries for a nice tart addition.
