{Nourish} Cool Weather Cobbler
As far as I am concerned, every season deserves a cobbler or crumble of sorts. While I tend not to have much of a sweet tooth (pass the potato chips, please), I love fruit and roasted fruit may just top the list of my favorite desserts–they simply feel more savory to me. This cool weather cobbler is packed with fall flavors including savory spices like ginger and cinnamon. Apple and pears cozy up together with antioxidant rich, immune boosting cherries and cranberries for a colorful, sweet and tart, treat that is really satisfying. The crumble is bolstered by the richness of almonds and pumpkin seeds which add texture, satiating healthy fats and an added boost of nutrient density. A touch of maple syrup is all you need to accent this naturally sweet dessert that is honestly so good for you I would eat it for breakfast too! Bonus, you can swap the fruit depending on the season. Peaches, rhubarb, berries–they would all work beautifully in this recipe!
- 6 medium pears or apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries and/or pitted cherries
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
- 1tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp freshly grated orange zest
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour (or gluten free flour)
- 1/4 cup unsalted, toasted pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup raw, unsalted sliced almonds
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or canola oil
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (preferably grade B)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- For the filling, toss together the fruit, arrowroot powder, cinnamon, ginger, and orange zest in a medium bowl. Spread the filling in the bottom of an 8x12-inch baking dish.
- To make the topping, stir together the almond flour, oats, whole-wheat flour, pumpkin seeds, almonds, cinnamon, and salt in another bow. Drizzle in the coconut oil, olive oil, and maple syrup and mix until evenly combined.
- Crumble the topping over the filling and bake for 40 minutes, or until the the topping is brown and the fruit is bubbling. Remove cobbler from the oven and set aside to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
