This pear crisp recipe is winter in a dish. Juicy, tender pears are gently cooked in a cozy blend of maple syrup, agave and warm spices, then crowned with a buttery, almond-studded crisp topping. Each bite offers a perfect contrast of soft, syrupy fruit and golden, flaky crumble, with hints of lemon zest and pumpkin spice that elevate the flavor. Serve it straight from the oven with a dollop of whipped maple cream for a comforting dessert that feels both indulgent and wholesome.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients (Crisp Topping)

1 tsp. sea salt
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup sprouted rolled oats
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1-1/2 tsp. pumpkin spice
8 Tbsp. butter cut into small cubes
1/2 lemon zested

Wet Ingredients (Pear Filling)

1/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
6 pears peeled and sliced
2 cinnamon stick
2 Tbsp. corn starch or arrowroot
1/2 lemon juiced
1/4 cup water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Add pears to saucepan with lemon juice, lemon zest, cornstarch, vanilla, salt, 1 Tbsp. butter, agave or maple syrup and 2 cinnamon sticks. Cook 10 minutes on medium heat, then set aside. (Note: Cook pears until juices thicken into a sauce, careful not to overcook them.)
In medium bowl, add oats, almond flour, sliced almonds, butter, brown sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, salt. Using your hands, combine ingredients into a crumbled texture and set aside.
Prepare baking pan or dish by buttering or spraying with avocado oil to prevent sticking. Pour semi-cooked pears with their juices, then add toppings to cover pears.
Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden, depending on your oven.
Serve with whipped maple cream.
