Apple & Pear Crumble

Author: Angie Alt

Prep time: 20 mins

Cook time: 40 mins

Total time: 1 hour

Serves: 6 servings

Ingredients

Filling:
2 pears, peeled and chopped
2 apples, peeled and chopped
¼ cup raisins
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cassava flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon powdered ginger
Topping:
1 cup cassava flour
¼ cup cold leaf lard (snow white, odorless lard best for pastries)
3 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
1 tablespoon coconut flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl mix all filling ingredients. Pour into a 9-inch pie plate. Set aside while making topping.
Add all topping ingredients to bowl of a food processor. Pulse off and on to combine, stopping as soon as large crumbles form.
Top filling in pie plate with topping mixture, using your fingers to break up and spread crumbles evenly.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until topping is golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

If you do not have access to leaf lard, palm shortening is the best substitute. If you don't have coconut flour, replace the 1 tablespoon with cassava flour. I use the coconut flour, because it gives the crumble a texture more akin to crumble recipes that utilize oatmeal.
