Gluten-Free Apple Pear Galette

Ingredients

For the Crust:
• 1 1/2 cup gluten-free flour blend (Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Baking Blend is what I used here)
• 1 tsp xanthan gum (if your blend does not already contain it)
• ½ cup unsalted butter, cubed and cold (can also use vegan butter or solid coconut oil)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 4 tbsp cold water
Filling:
• 2 small granny smith apples, sliced thin (about 2 cups)
• 1 ripe barlette pear, sliced thin (about 1 cup)
• 1 tbsp cornstarch or tapioca flour
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• ½ tbsp lemon juice
• pinch of salt
For topping:
• 1 tbsp butter (or vegan butter)
• dash of cinnamon

Instructions

1. In a food processor, add gluten-free flour, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon, and pulse to combine. Add butter, pulse until butter is the size of peas, with some bigger pieces. Remove from food processor and place in a bowl, add in water until you are able to pinch the dough in between your fingers. Turn dough out onto a (gluten-free) floured surface and knead a few times. Pat into a flat circle and chill for at least an hour.
2. To make the filling, combine apples, pears, cornstarch, brown sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl and mix together.
3. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick. Spoon filling into the middle of the dough. Crimp dough over the filling leaving a circle in the middle. Dot top with 1 tbsp of butter and sprinkle with cinnamon.
5. Bake at 375ºF for 40-50 minutes, until crust is golden brown.
6. Serve warm.
