Is there anything better than a friend that makes incredible, authentic Indian food? I think not. Especially when that friend inspires you to make a great dessert sans gluten, dairy and processed-sugar. After her amazing meal, I was glad to contribute this simple Apple Pear Crisp. It's fresh, light and tantalizingly sweet with a savory cardamom flavor.
Apple Pear Crisp (gluten, dairy, processed-sugar free)
3 cups diced apples
2 cups diced pears
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup oats
4 tablespoons raw honey
2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon cardamom
Mix apples, pears, 1/3 cup walnuts and 1 tablespoon honey together in a large bowl. Mix remaining ingredients separately. Pour apple mixture into a 9x9 baking dish and crumble oat topping over the apples. Bake at 375 degrees until topping is golden (approx. 20 min.) Serve warm to lots of friends!
