Gluten Free Pear Cranberry Almond Crumble Recipe

Gluten Free Pear Cranberry Almond Crumble Recipe

The count down to Thanksgiving continues here in America. In households across the country people are planning their holiday feast; turkey, stuffing, gravy, potatoes, cranberry sauce and of course, desserts. Yes, desserts – plural. At least in my house it is desserts – plural. Yes, there will be gluten-free pumpkin pie as well as pecan pie and something chocolate. And always, always something with fruit.

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 Gluten Free Pear Cranberry Almond Crumble is special enough for a Thanksgiving feast but easy and homey enough for a weeknight dinner. Kind of perfect, right?

What dessert(s) do you serve for your special feasts?

    oh this looks delicious Carol (and I don't even like pears – but I could easily sub with apples!) I love crumbles with a big spoonful of rich vanilla ice cream to just melt over the top of it and run down the side…. nom nom nom. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Great recipe! I adore crumbles. I like to think that they're a bit virtuous – like the fruit balances out the rich crust (especially when it's made with butter). :-)I really like making semifreddo as a dessert after a special but light meal in Summer. It's so easy to make in a lined loaf tin, and creates a lovely canvas for a variety of flavours.

    My children love crumbles, and my husband loves to drown them in rich custard. I just like to pretend that it's very healthy with the fruit, so I can have seconds!
