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.

This looks so delicious! I love pear and almond together so this is perfect.
I have a few friends who would probably LOVE this dessert. I definitely need to keep an eye out for fresh pears at the market this weekend.
I can’t wait to make these – this is a perfect recipe for fall. Thanks!!
Thanks, Lisa! I am sure you will love them! Yes, they are perfect for this time of the year!
This is the perfect dessert for breakfast! 🙂
I am glad I am not the only one who thinks eating dessert with your breakfast is okay. 🙂 My husband thought I was kidding when one day I asked him if he wanted dessert after he ate his breakfast. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Christine!
I couldn’t have asked for a better recipe! Thanks for sharing…
Thanks, Krystallia!
This looks amazing! Perfect for fall and so comforting!
Thanks, Florian! Yes, pears & almonds – perfect combination for a fall dessert
I have been enjoying pears so much lately! This looks like the perfect treat to celebrate fall with!
I have been making a lot of pear desserts lately too! Agree, perfect for fall!
This looks sooooo good! I’ve lost 20 pounds by sticking to an 80/20 Paleo diet. (80 percent Paleo and 20 percent wine and desserts!). This looks like a great addition to my dessert recipe file!
That’s awesome, Kathi! What a great success! Hope you try this recipe, i am sure you will love it! Even my non-Paleo family loved it and wanted seconds! 🙂
It’s awesome that I found this post as I just bought some pears! Love this healthy and delicious dessert for fall! Pinned.
Hope you give this pear & almond crisp a try! I am sure you will love it!
Looks delicious! Any idea if you could substitute the butter for something else? Would love to try making this dairy-free/vegan!
Hmm.. that’s hard. I wouldn’t recommend coconut oil since it will melt when it’s baked. But I have read on some vegan blogs that there are dairy free butter. I don’t know where to buy it though. Sorry, I couldn’t help much.
I just saw that Smart Balance has a dairy-free butter.
Now I am thinking that you could probably also use almond butter instead of butter, and it should work fine. If you try it, let me know how it turns out. 🙂
Try Earth Balance non-dairy butter alternative
