How to make Vegan Pear Crumble

Ingredients

Pears

You can really use any kind of pear you like but make sure they are ripe. When they are ripe, they are naturally sweet so they taste great.

Oats

To keep this gluten free, we will be using gluten-free oats but feel free to swap it for regular oats. You will need to make sure to use rolled oats and not instant so keep that in mind.

Maple Syrup & Coconut Sugar

We will be using both maple syrup and coconut sugar but you can sub for brown sugar if you like. It gives a nice sweetness but is not overwhelmingly sweet.

Walnuts

I used walnuts but you can use pecans instead. You can also try using other nuts, it gives this a great crunch and texture.

Almond Flour

Almond flour is great for gluten free baking so we will be using some. It really helps with the texture and also the taste of the crumble on top.

Dates & Arrowroot

We will be adding dates because they give an amazing sweetness and texture! Since pears release moisture, we will also add some arrowroot to thicken it.

Coconut oil, cinnamon and lemon juice

I used coconut oil but you can use another neutral oil if you like. Also, adding some freshly squeezed lemon juice provides a tangy flavor. We’ll be adding cinnamon for the filling and topping because it gives a great taste and smell.

How to make it step by step

• The first thing we will need to do is to preheat the oven to 350 F. And then add the pears in an 8 to 10 inch greased oven-safe cast-iron skillet or 8×8 (or 9×9) size casserole dish. Add the filling ingredients and then mix well.

• Now, top the filling with the crumble topping evenly and then bake for 45 min to 50 min until the top gets crispy and also golden brown.

Tips & Variations

• You should make sure to check while it’s baking so the top doesn’t burn.
• To make it sweeter, you can add more maple syrup or drizzle some after it’s baked if you like.
• For serving, you can add some dairy free vanilla ice cream!
