This pear crumble is the perfect way to mix up your Fall desserts! With spices like cinnamon and ginger, maple syrup and fresh pears, this warm and fruity dessert is a total crowd pleaser.
Ingredients
Pears
- 5 large pears I used Bartlett
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Crumble
- ½ cup butter softened
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 - 1 ¼ cup gluten free all purpose baking flour see notes
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teapsoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Set aside a 9 inch pie dish.
- Peel and core your pears, then slice into strips or cubes. I sliced into strips then sliced each in half for this recipe, but it's really just a personal preference!
- Add to a large mixing bowl and toss with all of the other ingredients listed under "pear." Toss until everything is well coated. Set aside.
- Add the softened butter to a bowl and use a fork to combine with the sugar until both are well incorporated. Add in the flour, starting with 1 cup and adding 2-4 more tablespoons as needed. Mix in the cinnamon and salt. It should look crumbly.
- Transfer the pears to the pie dish, then add the crumble on top.
- Bake, uncovered, for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. I usually place the pie dish on top of a cookie sheet because the pears can bubble and spill onto the oven so this makes clean up easier!
- Remove from the oven and serve with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
Notes
Start with 1 cup of the flour and add 2-4 more tablespoons as needed. It will depend on how soft your butter was.
