Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 large pear - peeled, cored, and chopped (about 1 cup)
• 1 large apple - peeled, cored, and chopped (about 1 cup)
• 0.25 cup gluten-free, old-fashioned rolled oats

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine apple and pear in the parchment-lined baking dish and drizzle maple syrup and vinegar over the fruit. Sprinkle with cinnamon and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle oats and pecans evenly over the top without mixing them in. They are meant to stay on top to become a bit crunchy.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until oats are lightly browned and crunchy and the fruit is soft and juicy, about 30 minutes.
