This Gluten-Free Spiced Pear and Apple Cobbler is the perfect warm & cozy fall dessert bursting with seasonal fruits.
Ingredients
- 5 cups mixed apples and pears peeled and sliced ¼ inch thick
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup all-purpose GF flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon mineral salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ cup date sugar plus 1 Tablespoon separated (you can also use maple sugar)
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- Vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 9-inch round or 9x9 inch baking pan with butter or coconut oil spray.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add sliced fruit with lemon, spices, maple and a pinch of mineral salt . Cook over medium heat until bubbling and fruit has just begun to soften, 8-10 min. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together GF flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and 3/4 cup date sugar. Pour in melted butter, heavy cream and vanilla paste, then fold in delicately until well combined, careful not to overmix.
- Add a little more than 1/2 of the batter to the bottom of the baking pan- spreading uniformly to the edges. Remove fruit from the fruit mixture with a slotted spoon, reserving the syrup at the bottom of the pan for serving later. Add fruit uniformly atop batter. Add remaining batter in flattened mounds all across the fruit. Sprinkle remaining 1 Tablespoon of date sugar uniformly across the top.
- Bake cobbler on the middle rack until golden and bubbling, 35-45 minutes, rotating pan 180 degrees, 1-2 times during cooking. Serve cobbler warm drizzled with reserved fruit syrup and enjoy!
