Ingredients:

• 1 Anjou Pear, just ripening, but not too soft. (peeled, cored, sliced in 1/3 in wide crescents)
• 1 Granny Smith Apple (peeled, cored and cut the same)
• ½ cup Butter or Butter Substitute
• ½ cup Light Brown Sugar
• ¾ cup Sweet Rice Flour
• ¼ cup Tapioca Flour/Starch
• ½ cup Sorghum Flour
• 1 and ¼ teas Xanthan Gum
• 1 tbsp Baking Powder
• 3/4 stick Butter ( or substitute as above)
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 4 oz. Plain Apple Sauce
• 3 Eggs (not extra large)
• 1 teas Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1 dash Cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Prepare the apple and pear first, then set aside. Grease the sides of the cake pan, and then taking the bottom of your cake pan, cut out a circle of Parchment paper and place on bottom, being certain to reach the rim.
3. Melt the ½ cup butter or substitute in a saute pan and then stir in the brown sugar. Combine well, until butter is softened. Spread this melted butter and sugar all over the parchment paper. Don’t worry if it’s a little blotchy, it will all melt into place in the oven.
4. Now, place the pears and apples, trying to alternate as you layer, and place them all facing in the same direction, as in the photo. Next, set your pan aside while you mix the batter.
5. In a small bowl, combine the flours, xanthan gum, baking powder, cinnamon and stir to combine.
6. Place the softened stick of butter or substitute in a large bowl, and cream this with the granulated sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla, and apple sauce. Blend well with a hand mixer or your beaters.
7. Slowly add the dry ingredients and beat until smooth and well incorporated. Batter may seem a little elastic or stretchy, but that’s fine.
8. Pour batter in the prepared pan and using your spatula, smooth top to achieve a flat surface.
9. Bake at 325 degrees for approx. 45 minutes. Cake will become a golden color and is done when it springs back slightly when touched. Ovens vary and many ovens are not accurate after years & years of use, so keep checking!
10. Dress this cake up with strawberries, ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or just serve plain with a great cup of coffee!

Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose gluten-free baking flour or your favorite blend
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum or guar gum
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut
• 1/2 cup canola oil or butter (chewy or crisp)
• 2 tablespoons agave nectar
• 1 egg
• Up to 5 tablespoons of brewed coffee
• 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup miniature milk chocolate chips
• Half of a 10 ½ ounce bag Lays Classic Potato Chips, processed till finely minced but not mealy

Directions:

1. Process potato chips and weigh until you have 5 ounces (about half the bag). Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together baking powder, flour, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir in the brown sugar and coconut and mix until combined.
3. In separate bowl, whisk together the oil (or butter), vanilla extract, agave, egg and 5 tablespoons coffee. Add the wet to the dry, stirring until smooth. If the dough is too stiff, add more coffee as needed to soften. It is a pretty thick cookie dough. Stir in potato chips and chocolate chips and stir to combine.
4. Drop by the tablespoon onto a sheet pan lined with parchment and bake on the bottom rack for 15-17 minutes. Remove and cool for 5 minutes and move cookies to a cooling rack. Repeat until all dough is used.
