Pear Ginger
This pear ginger crisp is a warm and comforting dessert that's perfect for a fall evening. The pears are sliced and tossed with lemon juice, ginger, and cinnamon, then topped with a crumble made from oats, almond flour, pecans, coconut sugar, and a pinch of salt. The crisp is baked until the crumble is golden brown and the pears are tender. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
This pear ginger crisp is inspired by a recipe that my grandmother used to make. She would always make it in the fall, when the pears were at their peak. I loved the way the warm, sweet pears contrasted with the crunchy, nutty crumble. It was always a special treat, and I've been making it ever since she passed away. Over the years, I've made a few changes to the recipe, but the basic flavors are still the same. I've added ginger to the pears for a bit of spice, and I've used almond flour in the crumble for a bit of extra crunch. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.

Why It Works
  • The pears are sliced thin so that they cook evenly in the oven.
  • The lemon juice helps to prevent the pears from browning.
  • The ginger adds a bit of spice to the pears.
  • The cinnamon adds a warm, fall flavor to the pears.
  • The crumble is made with a combination of oats, almond flour, pecans, coconut sugar, and salt. This gives the crumble a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor.
  • The crumble is baked until it is golden brown and the pears are tender.
  • Serving the crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream adds a touch of sweetness and creaminess.
