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.

EASY & DELICIOUS APPLE CRUMBLE (GLUTEN FREE)



Easy & Delicious Apple Crumble (Gluten Free) image

British influence on South African cuisine has brought Apple Crumble to the table. This version is not too sweet so I suggest not cutting much sugar if you make it as I already reduced it from the original recipe found on http://www.shahiya.com.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Yield 1 crumble, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 gala apples, peeled and cored
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup rice flour, mix (1 cup white rice flour to 1/2 cup tapioca starch)
1/2 cup blanched almond, finely chopped (I really like to add some chopped walnuts as well)
4 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Cut each apple into thin wedges.
  • Place the apples wedges in a deep baking dish. Make sure that the dish is not too big so you will have more than one layer of apple wedges in the bottom of the dish.
  • Sprinkle the apple wedges evenly with cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
  • To prepare the crumble crust, combine nuts, flour mix and 4 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl. Add in the butter and knead with your hands until the dough resembles breadcrumbs. Spread the crumble mixture all over the apples.
  • Bake in the oven until the apples are tender and the topping mixture is golden (25 minutes).
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream on the side if desired.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your crumble a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.

  • Let the crumble cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the crumble to set.
  • Serve the crumble with whipped cream, ice cream, or custard. This will add a delicious and creamy touch.
