Quinoa flour ups the good-for-you factor in the topping of this fall party-ready crumble. For extra punch, serve with cinnamon ice cream, or vanilla ice cream sprinkled with cinnamon.

Ingredients

Filling

Unsalted butter, room temperature, for dish
2 pounds mixed apples (such as Jonagold, Empire, Macoun, and Cortland), peeled, cored, and cut into ½-inch pieces
2 pounds pears (such as Bosc or Anjou), peeled, cored, and cut into ½-inch pieces
¼ cup packed light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
⅓ cup quinoa flour
⅓ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
½ cup packed light-brown sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Directions

Filling:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Toss apples and pears in a large bowl with brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, and cinnamon until evenly coated.
Topping:
Mix oats, flours, sugar, salt, and nutmeg until combined. Work in butter with your fingertips until incorporated and mixture forms small clumps.
Spread apple-pear mixture in prepared dish; sprinkle with topping. Bake until fruit is tender, filling is bubbling, and topping is golden brown, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly before serving; crumble is best enjoyed the day it's made.
