Ingredients

3 large Pears ~ peeled, cored, and sliced
2 large Apples ~ peeled, cored, and sliced
1 cup Blueberries ~ fresh or frozen
3 Plums ~ optional
1/2 cup Pure maple syrup ~ or 1/3 cup pure maple syrup and 2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp Lemon juice
2 Tbsp Corn starch
1/2 Tbsp Ground cinnamon
1/2 cup Gluten-free flour ~I used King Arthur Measure-For-Measure
1/2 cup Old-fashioned gluten-free oats
1/2 cup Finely chopped walnuts
2/3 cup Brown sugar
1/2 cup Butter or dairy-free substitute

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350.
Place sliced apples and pears in a round or square 9"x 9" pan, then add the blueberries. And plums if desired.
Drizzle maple syrup, then lemon juice overall.
Add the corn starch by sprinkling it over the syrup and lemon juice and gently mix in with the flat side of a fork.
Lastly, sprinkle cinnamon over the fruit mixture.
Set aside and prepare topping.
Mix flour, oats, nuts, and brown sugar in a medium bowl.
Cut in the butter or butter substitute using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Cover the fruit with topping and bake for about 45 minutes.
The fruit mixture should become nice and bubbly, and the crumb topping should be nicely browned.
Store fruit crisp the following day in the refrigerator covered tightly with plastic wrap. You can also lay a paper towel over the crisp before covering it with plastic wrap.

Notes

*Here's a tip - I always precook the apple slices for a couple of minutes in the microwave before mixing them with the other fruit to ensure they are fully cooked.
