Apple, Pear, Walnut Crisp

 

INGREDIENTS:

4-5 Granny Smith apples (I used Empire and Golden Delicious)

3 Bartlett pears

1/2 cup walnuts

1 cup sugar (I used maple sugar, but you could use coconut or granulated sugar)

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 stick butter

2 cups flour (I used King Arthur's 1 for 1 gluten free)

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup butter

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and brown sugar.  Add 1 cup of butter and mix on low speed until crumbly.

In a medium bowl, whisk sugar, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon together and set aside.

Peel, core, and slice apples and pears.  Put in a large bowl, add walnuts.

Mix in sugar mixture and stir until all fruit and walnuts are coated well.

Pour fruit mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish.

Add the remaining 1/4 cup butter (sliced) and just place on top of the fruit mixture randomly.

Add the flour mixture on top of fruit and spread evenly.

Bake uncovered at 400 degrees F. for 40-50 minutes.

Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
