Ingredients
  

Fruit Base

  • ripe pears sliced
  • maple syrup
  • lemon juice
  • cardamom
  • cinnamon
  • salt

Crumble Topping

  • sunflower seed flour or almond
  • coconut oil
  • cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Slice pears and toss with maple, lemon, and spices. Spread in baking dish.
  • Mix crumble topping in a bowl. Pinch until you have big, buttery-looking clumps.
  • Sprinkle over fruit and bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes.
  • Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Rachel tip: Pre-roast the pears for 10 mins to pull out moisture. That keeps the crumble crisp and caramelized on top. Budget tip: Pears are usually cheaper than apples and sweeter when ripe. Storage: Best warm, but leftovers reheat well in the oven.
