Easy Pear Crisp [Vegan Pear Crumble]
Description
Easy Pear Crisp layers ripe, thinly sliced pears with a portion of brown sugar before covering them in a streusel made from flour, quick oats, cinnamon, allspice, salt, vanilla extract, and melted vegan butter. This combination results in a tender, bubbly filling with a nicely spiced crust. The dessert is baked in an 8x8-inch pan until the pears become tender and the topping turns golden, intensifying the natural sweetness of the pears.
The texture offers a pleasant contrast between the soft fruit and the oat-based topping with a subtle spice note. The inclusion of allspice and cinnamon gives the crisp a warm flavor console without overpowering the delicate pears.
This vegan pear crisp can be served on its own or paired with plant-based vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream alternative for added indulgence. It’s a satisfying way to enjoy seasonal pears and a straightforward dessert to prepare.
Adjusting the sugar based on the pears' ripeness allows control over sweetness. Dicing pears instead of slicing them changes the dessert’s texture, offering a chunkier bite if preferred. The spiced streusel can be customized by adding spices either to the topping or the fruit filling based on taste.
Ingredients
- 3 large pear thinly sliced, ripe
- ¾ cup brown sugar divided (plus more for sprinkling on top
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup quick oats
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup vegan butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a baking 8x8 dish.

- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, salt, allspice, cinnamon, vanilla, and melted vegan butter. Mix until well-combined.
- Spoon the oat mixture onto the pears and spread evenly. Sprinkle with more brown sugar (optional).
- Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Check to see if the pears are tender, if they’re not yet, bake for another 10 minutes.
Notes

- Replacing sliced pears with diced ones will alter the texture.
- Spices can be added to either the streusel topping or directly into the pear filling.
