BAKED APPLE AND PEAR WITH OATS AND PECANS

Baked Apple and Pear with Oats and Pecans image

This recipe makes a delicious, simple, gluten-free breakfast or dessert. I made it as described, but it would be just as good with either fruit by itself and other kinds of nuts and sweeteners. Serve with a dollop of Reddi-wip® if you like.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 large pear - peeled, cored, and chopped (about 1 cup)
1 large apple - peeled, cored, and chopped (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup gluten-free, old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
Combine apple and pear in the parchment-lined baking dish and drizzle maple syrup and vinegar over the fruit. Sprinkle with cinnamon and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle oats and pecans evenly over the top without mixing them in. They are meant to stay on top to become a bit crunchy.
Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until oats are lightly browned and crunchy and the fruit is soft and juicy, about 30 minutes.
