Apple Pear Crisp

4 large Granny Smith apples, pears or combination of both, peeled, cored and sliced thinly
1 cup white rice flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup chopped raw cashews

2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla

Preheat over to 350. In bowl, mix flour and salt together. Mix in 1/4 cup maple syrup and oil until well combined. Add cashews and mix well (works best using your hands). In a separate bowl, combine the water, 1 Tbsp maple syrup and vanilla. Set aside. Layer apples, pears and any other fruit (blueberries work great) in a pie dish. Add liquid mixture to fruit and mix until all fruit is covered. Cover fruit with the dry crumble. Cover crisp with foil and bake 45 minutes. Remove foil then brown topping an additional 15 minutes, uncovered.
