Ingredients
Crisp Topping
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 6 tbsp cold butter, divided
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup walnut flour, see note
Pear Filling
- 4 cups pears, peeled and sliced
- 1 tbsp tapioca flour, or arrowroot powder
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- First, add 2 tablespoons butter into a large skillet over low medium heat.
- Combine remaining 4 tablespoons butter and all other crisp topping ingredients in a mixing bowl. Use fingers to incorporate cold butter into dough.
- Once a crumbly dough has formed, add to the skillet.
- Cook crisp topping for 7 to 8 minutes or until it becomes crispy. Stir often to prevent burning.
- Once golden and crispy, remove topping to a plate. It will be crumbly but crispy.
- Then, add peeled and sliced pears, tapioca flour, cinnamon and coconut sugar to a bowl. Toss until pears are coated.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter and pear mixture to the skillet. Cook on low medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes or until pears are soft. Stir often to prevent burning.
- Once pears are soft, sprinkle crisp topping onto pears.
- Finally, cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until warmed through.
Notes
- Walnut flour can be replaced with 3/4 cup almond flour.
- I used Octonuts Walnut Protein Powder. Use my code ORGANICALLYADDISON for 10% off their products.
- Coconut oil or ghee can replace butter for a dairy free or lactose free option.
- To make this in the oven, see note above. It will cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Pears can remain unpeeled if desired.
- Cook crisp topping until crispy and golden, but not burnt.
- Cook pears until softened, but not crispy.
- Feel free to substitute for the pecans and walnuts. The important thing is to have 1 cup total of nuts.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Great served warm or cold!
