INGREDIENTS 6 cups fruit (one type or a combination) 1-2 Tablespoons lemon juice 4-6 Tablespoons maple syrup (amount depends on sweetness of fruit) DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Chop fruit as desired and place in an oven-proof baking dish with a lid. Drizzle with lemon juice. Stir to coat. Pour maple syrup evenly over the top of the fruit. Cover, place in oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake for 30-60 minutes, until fruit is tender and juices are thickened. Allow to cool slightly before serving. OPTIONAL TOPPINGS SUGAR: For a simple sweet crunch, evenly distribute 2-3 Tablespoons of turbinado, demerrera or raw sugar over the top of the cooked fruit and return to oven uncovered for 15 minutes. Cool 15 minutes or more before serving. SPICE: For a warm flavor and to enhance the sweetness of the fruit, cover with a light dusting of spices before baking. Try one or a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, cloves, allspice or mace. For something more unusual, garam masala, curry or five-spice. EVERYTHING NICE: For a more substantial baked topping, combine 4 Tablespoons coconut oil, 1/2 cup granulated sugar of your choice, 1/2 cup gluten-free flour mix and1/2 cup rolled oats. Distribute on top of raw fruit and bake uncovered until fruit is cooked and topping is crisp. Copyright © 2018 Stefanie Samara Hamblen |
