This 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!

How to Make Paleo Pear and Almond Crisp
The Pear Filling
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a small bowl, stir together 1/8 cup almond flour, 1/8 cup coconut sugar, lemon juice and 1/4 tsp vanilla.
- In small ramekins, divide the pears. Sprinkle on top with your almond flour/coconut sugar mixture.
The Topping
- 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.
- 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.
- Spread the crumble topping evenly over the pears in each ramekin, and sprinkle on 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 crisp cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

Technically oats (Avena) are in the weed family as a cereal grain, which means, oats are not exactly Paleo. What could you substitute oats with without changing the flavour or structure? Thanks.
Hi Sharon, you could try rolled quinoa, or coarsely chopped walnuts/pecans.
When do you add the almond extract?
Hi Carmen, you add it when you mix all topping ingredients.
I didn’t think oats were Paleo (it’s a grain) what’s a good substitute for oats?
Hi Tara, you can try rolled quinoa or coconut flakes as a substitute for oats.
