Looking for delicious gluten-free pear recipes? From crisp salads to warm desserts, this roundup has you covered with simple, delicious recipes that highlight the natural sweetness of pears. Find gluten free pear salads, baked goods, breakfast, and dessert recipes.
Pears are one of my very favorite fall fruits. They are available most of the year, but they are at their peak during the fall when apples are in season. Pears are delicious fresh, but you can also use them to create so many sweet and savory recipes.
Some of my favorite flavors to bake with pears are spices like ground cinnamon and brown sugar because they accent the sweet crispness of pears’ flavor.

Pear Varieties:
Pears come in a wide variety of flavors and types, but these are the most commonly found pears at your local grocery store.
Bartlett Pears
Anjou Pears (Including Red Anjou)
Bosc Pears
Comice
Asian Pears – I often see these at the market. Note that they are best fresh and not baked.
I always recommend storing leftover pear recipes in an airtight container in your refrigerator. Note: If you store salad, it will only stay fresh for 1-2 days if the dressing is on the salad.
The pear desserts below are freezable and can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer or a zip-style freezer bag.
Popular Apple Desserts To Swap Pears In:
I always feel like pears fall second to apples in the fall, which is sad. Pears have incredible flavor and can be substituted for apples in your favorite desserts. Try swapping fresh, juicy pears in some of these popular apple recipes!
Gluten Free Apple Cobbler – (Pictured above.) I recommend using Bartlett, Anjou, or Bosc pears in place of the apples in this recipe. It will taste incredible with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
Gluten Free Apple Dumplings – I think a firmer pear like Bosc is better in a recipe like this because it will hold up to the dumpling pie crust wrap better.

Sometimes I only have to test a new recipe a couple of times, and others it takes multiple times. I do this so you get reliable, delicious results every time!
