Gluten Free Dairy Free Pear Cranberry Almond Crumble
I got to thinking about really celebrating the food of the season this year and decided what could be more perfect than a pear and cranberry crumble? Pears are really at their peak right now, juicy, lush and sweet and of course cranberries are ubiquitous around the holidays. Gluten-free, dairy-free, sweet, crunchy and best of all, simple, this crumble is special enough for a Thanksgiving feast but easy and homey enough for a weeknight dinner. Kind of perfect, right?

½ cup pear nectar or apple juice
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

½ teaspoon plus 1 small pinch kosher or fine sea salt – use divided
5 medium pears, cored, peeled and cut into ¼ inch slices
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1½ cups finely ground blanched almond flour
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup sliced almonds

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pear nectar or apple juice, lemon juice, cornstarch or arrowroot powder and a small pinch of salt. Add the pear slices and cranberries and gently toss. Pour into the prepared dish.
In another large mixing bowl combine the almond flour, brown sugar, the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt and sliced almonds. Add the vanilla and oil and stir with a fork until crumbly. Top the pears with the mixture. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 10 – 15 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the juices are bubbly. Serve warm.
