Ingredients

Filling:
  • ⅛ cup almond meal/flour
  • ⅛ cup coconut sugar
  • 2 cups peeled and cubed pears
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Topping:
  • ½ cup almond meal
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 Tablespoon 1/2 stick cold, unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup gluten free quick oats
  • ½ cup sliced almonds divided
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • vanilla ice cream to serve (optional)

Instructions

For the Pear Filling:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together 1/8 cup almond flour, 1/8 cup coconut sugar, lemon juice and 1/4 tsp vanilla.
  3. In a baking dish, place peeled and cut pear. Sprinkle the top with your almond flour/coconut sugar mixture.
For the Topping:
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine and mix 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup coconut sugar, almond extract, and a pinch of salt. Add 1/2 stick diced cold butter to the mixture and mix everything with your hands until butter is pea-sized.
  2. Add 1/4 cup gluten-free oats and use your hands to make large crumbs, rubbing the mixture between your fingers. Add 1/4 cup sliced almonds and toss to combine.
  3. Spread the crumble topping evenly over the pears, and sprinkle with the second 1/4 cup sliced almonds. Bake uncovered at 350˚F for 35 - 40 minutes, or until almonds are golden brown and pear juices are bubbling at the edges. Let the crisp cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
