Grain Free Pear Crisp

Jump to Recipe

pearcrisp

Crisp is one of the easiest desserts to make.  Fruit and crumble, that’s it.  The secret is to make a super yummy crumble for the top.  One that’s sweet and crunchy without being sugary and dense.  This is my attempt at a fabulous crisp:  Grain-Free Pear Crisp.

I have pears coming out of my ears this year.  Last week, I made an Upside Down Pear Cake with cardamom honey glaze.  It was beautiful and deliciously spiced.  Today, I made this pear crisp.  My sweetie kindly peeled and chopped 12 cups of pears for me so I could make 2 attempts.  Both turned out great.  Lucky for me, since crisp number one got eaten before I even had a chance to take a photo.  My poor family.  They often have to wait to devour the food I make until I have time to set up my shots and take several photos.

The crumble on this crisp is super versatile.  I don’t use any grains in my crumble.  Just almond flour, shredded coconut,  and nuts. I used cashews and hazelnuts because that is what I had.  You can use any nuts that you wish.  I do recommend using soaked and dehydrated nuts for better digestibility.  Read more HERE about that.  The trick to getting the crumble to be just right is placing your coconut oil in the fridge for 30 minutes or so (probably less in the freezer.)  You just want it to harden so it makes a nice crumbly texture when you pulse it in.

Since I have so many pears, that’s what I used.  But I sometimes like to combine fruits together.  Feel free to combine pears with apples or berries for a different variation.  Enjoy!

  • 2 tsp arrowroot powder (like this)
  • 1/4 tsp powdered ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • FOR CRUMBLE:
  • 1 cup nuts (cashew, hazelnut, macadamia, almond, pecan, or walnut), preferably soaked and dehydrated
  • 1 cup almond flour (like this)
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 TBS honey
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (like this)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, cold and hard from the fridge (I use this one)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350’F
  2. Combine chopped pears with lemon juice, honey, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and arrowroot powder. Mix to evenly coat. Pour mixture into baking dish.
  3. In food processor, pulse nuts, almond flour, cinnamon, and honey until nuts are broken down into tiny pieces.
  4. Add COLD coconut oil and shredded coconut. Pulse until mixture forms a nice crumbly texture.
  5. Spread crumble evenly over pears and bake, covered with foil, for 15 minutes. Then remove foil and bake another 20-25 minutes until crumble is starting to brown.
  6. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Delicious on it’s own but even better with whipped cream or ice cream. ENJOY!

sauerkraut • love it? hate it? • it’s one of sauerkraut • love it? hate it? • it’s one of the easier + most cost effective ways to support your gut • i make it every couple of months • its easy once you understand the basics of fermentation • i have a step by step tutorial if you’re ready to dive in ✨✨

link to tutorial in bio : https://www.savorylotus.com/easy-sauerkraut-recipe/

what you’ll need:
cabbage
salt
1/2 gallon wide mouth mason jar (or you can use 2 wide mouth quart sized jars)
air-tight fermentation lid
🥕🌿🍠 veggie game strong today • crucifer 🥕🌿🍠 veggie game strong today • cruciferous vegetable = superfoods • this + sweet potato rounds + a big cup of bone broth is what’s up for dinner 

collard green
green cabbage
purple cabbage 
carrot 
tons of fresh ginger 

👉 and, yes, not everyone tolerates cruciferous vegetables • i didn’t used too • i’ve done a lot of work on my gut + digestion • and i still prefer them cooked as they are easier to digest • eat slowly • give thanks (gratitude has a positive effect on the nervous system) • chew well (so your body can release all the enzymes needed to digest your food) ❤️• it’s so so important to eat in a relaxed environment so the body can rest + digest • eating while in “hurry” mode leads to indigestion and poor absorption
simple dinner • we eat wild salmon 🐟 once a w simple dinner • we eat wild salmon 🐟 once a week to get in those omega 3s • my favorite way to cook it is to sprinkle with salt + a bit of ghee on top + broil it for 8-9 minutes • so easy + today we added steamed green beans + a cauliflower + romanesco mash • plus tons of olive oil + ghee

to make cauliflower + romanesco mash, add florets from one head of each to a large pot • add in 1 cup of bone broth + sprinkle with a bit of salt • cover with lid • steam florets in broth until tender, adding more broth if bottom runs dry • once florets are very tender, add lots of ghee or butter + salt to taste • purée smooth with an immersion blender • add more broth to make it creamy smooth • so good 💛• don’t forget to add a ghee (or butter) pool when serving 

when we can’t get wild, local salmon, we order from @vitalchoice
