Turkey Day take 2

Saturday was Rand Family Thanksgiving and it was a blast - Ally was able to show up and so the 5 of us (plus Reese!) enjoyed turkey, green beans, mashed potatoes, pie, apple -pear cobbler/crisp... YUM!!

Needless to say the fridge is now full of turkey leftovers that I packaged up for lunches :-)

The big pot is pumpkin-squash bisque

considering this was FULL, we've done a fairly good job!

Gluten-Free apple/pear cobbler/crisp. Third time's the charm!

Recipe for Apple/Pear Crisp

Ingredients:

gluten-free bisquick

light brown sugar

unsalted butter

3 types of apples - whichever you like best but I recommend including Granny Smith as 1 of the 3

red pears

bosc/brown pears

Depending upon how large a batch you are making, your number of apples and pears will change. The above is my 9x9 brownie pan that I used and it worked very well! I used 2 apples of each kind as well as 2 pears of each kind and it filled the pan nicely. 

preheat oven to 375

lightly spray baking pan or rub with butter to grease pan

core and chop into large slices all apples and pears

gently toss all fruit in the gluten-free bisquick and place into baking dish

melt butter (I used 1 1/2 sticks) and add equal parts bisquick and light brown sugar. You want the consistency to be like warm fudge (slightly stiff but still mold-able)

spread the 'topping' over the apples and pears like a crust. You want to be able to cover the entire top

bake in the oven for 50-70 min until bottom is bubbly and top is golden brown - see above picture. 

It can be served hot (let cool 15min before serving) OR cool (let cool 50min). Enjoy!
