Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. pears 7-8 medium, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4" thick slices; Bosch, Bartlett or Anjou are all great
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar sub with coconut or maple sugar to make refined sugar free
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon divided
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats use certified GF if needed
  • 1 cup all purpose flour may substitute with 1 to 1 Gluten-Free flour
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar sub with coconut or maple sugar to make refined sugar free
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil melted (may substitute with melted butter)

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9×13″ baking  dish and set aside.
  • Place the pears, sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, lemon juice and cornstarch in a large bowl and stir gently to combine.  Pour the mixture into the prepared pan in an even layer.
    3 lbs. pears, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon and salt in medium bowl.  Stir in the coconut oil until well moistened (or cut in cubes of cold butter to resemble a coarse meal).
    1 cup old fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup all purpose flour, 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the fruit mixture and bake in the middle rack of the oven for 50-60 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.  If the crisp topping browns too quickly, cover it with foil until it’s finished baking.
  • Remove from heat and cool for at least 15 minutes on a wire rack.  Serve warm with ice cream if desired and enjoy!

Notes

  • Pro tip: Be sure to use pears that are ripe yet firm and cut them in uniform slices to ensure even cooking.
  • You can make this pear crisp gluten free by using gluten-free certified oats and substituting the all purpose flour with gluten-free 1 to 1 flour or even almond flour.
  • Pear crumble may be made a day in advance and stored at room temperature.
  • Store leftover crisp covered for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Note that the crisp topping will become soggy if stored in the refrigerator.
  • Make this an apple pear crisp by substituting half of the pears with apples.
