Substitutions

Use firm pears for half the apples. A 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend can replace all-purpose flour.

Practical tip

Slice apples evenly so they soften at the same rate; visible bubbling confirms the starch has thickened.

Storage and reheating

Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat portions until hot; freeze baked crumble for up to 2 months.
