This week I have the privilege of sharing gluten-free holiday recipes created by Chef Cat Cora. Today’s recipe is a delicious Gluten-Free Cheddar Apple Crumble. The crunchy crumb topping is made by combining cheddar cheese, pecans, and Pillsbury® Gluten Free refrigerated pie and pastry dough. Cat Cora creates the perfect balance of sweet and savory in this dish.

Author: Alea
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • ½ container (15.8 oz) Pillsbury® Gluten Free refrigerated pie and pastry dough
  • ½ cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 2 cups finely shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, diced (about 6 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
  1. Heat oven to 400F. In medium bowl, mix pie dough, pecans, powdered sugar and cheese until well blended. Place crumb mixture on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool; crumble.
  2. In 12 inch skillet, melt butter over medium high heat; stir in sugar. Cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture begins to caramelize. Stir in apples, lemon juice and cinnamon (caramel will harden). Reduce heat to medium; simmer 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until apples are tender and caramel is dissolved. Cool.
  3. Spoon apple mixture into six 6 oz ovenproof ramekins. Top with crumb mixture. Bake 5 to 6 minutes or until warm. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.

    I have seen this recipe a couple of times now. While it sounds a little different, I definitely think I would like it. Nothing beats a good sharp cheddar!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
