Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F). Position the oven rack in the center to promote even cooking.
Prepare a 23 cm (9-inch) square baking dish by greasing it with coconut oil or lining it with parchment paper for easy serving.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 medium-sized ripe pears (peeled, cored, and sliced) with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of lemon juice. Toss the pears to coat evenly, enhancing their flavor and preventing browning.
Evenly distribute the pear mixture in the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup (90 g) of gluten-free oats, 1/2 cup (50 g) of almond flour, 1/3 cup (67 g) of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon (2 g) of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of salt. Stir until well combined, ensuring there are no clumps.
Pour in 1/3 cup (80 ml) of melted coconut oil and mix with the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Fold in 1/2 cup (60 g) of chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) for added crunch.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the pear mixture in the baking dish, ensuring complete coverage for ideal crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and crisp, and the pears are bubbling. You should notice a delightful aroma of cinnamon and fruit as it bakes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to set slightly for easier serving.
Serve warm as is or with a scoop of your favorite ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast in temperature and creaminess.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Substitute Pears With Another Fruit in This Recipe?

You can substitute pears with apples, peaches, or even berries. Just remember to adjust the sugar and spice levels according to the fruit’s sweetness. I’ve tried it, and it’s always delicious!

How Long Will the Pear Crisp Last in the Refrigerator?

The pear crisp should last about four to five days in the refrigerator if you cover it well. I usually enjoy it warm, but it’s also delicious cold. Just make sure to store it properly!

Is This Recipe Suitable for Vegans?

Yes, I believe this recipe’s suitable for vegans. I’ve used plant-based ingredients throughout, ensuring everyone can enjoy it. You won’t miss the dairy or eggs; it’s delicious just the way it is!

Can I Make the Crumble Topping Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can definitely make the crumble topping ahead of time! I often prepare it a day in advance and just store it in the fridge. It saves time and still tastes delicious when baked.

What Type of Oats Work Best for the Crumble Topping?

I love using rolled oats for the crumble topping. They provide a nice texture and hold up well during baking. Quick oats can work too, but they’ll result in a finer, less hearty crumble.
