Paleo Pear and Almond Crisp

This Paleo Pear and Almond Crisp makes for an ultra-decadent dessert. Buttery, tender caramelized pears are topped with a crunchy-edged oaty almond crumble. This pear and almond crisp with an absolutely delicious crumble topping is the perfect cozy fall/winter dessert – warm, homey, and perfectly balanced. I’m in love!

This dessert is also super easy to make, and it takes only 30 minutes to make. If you want to make it for a bigger crowd, double the recipe (for both the filling and the topping) and use a single baking dish.

Long evenings call for cozy desserts. Grab a bowl of my Paleo & gluten free Pear and Almond Crisp and enjoy. 🙂

How to Make Paleo Pear and Almond Crisp

What you need

• 1/8 cup almond meal/flour
  
• 1/8 cup coconut sugar
• 2 cups peeled and cubed pears
• Juice from 1/2 lemon
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup almond meal
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar

• 1/4 cup gluten free quick oats
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds, divided
• 1/4 tsp almond extract

Preparation

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.

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine and mix 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup coconut sugar, 1/4 tsp 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.
