Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13″ baking dish and set aside.

Place the pears, sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, lemon juice and cornstarch in a large bowl and stir gently to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan in an even layer.

Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon and salt in medium bowl. Stir in the coconut oil until well moistened (or cut in cubes of cold butter to resemble a coarse meal).

Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the fruit mixture and bake in the middle rack of the oven for 50-60 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. If the crisp topping browns too quickly, cover it with foil until it’s finished baking.

Remove from heat and cool for at least 15 minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm with ice cream if desired and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Choose Firm Pears for Perfect Texture 🍐
Select pears that are just ripe but still firm to the touch; they'll hold their shape during baking and prevent the crumble from becoming too mushy or watery.
Toast Your Oat Crumble First ⏱️
Pre-toast the oat mixture for 3-4 minutes on a baking sheet before adding it to the pears; this creates a deeper, nutty flavor and ensures a crispier, golden-brown topping.
Macerate Pears with Lemon & Sugar 🍋
Toss sliced pears with lemon juice and sugar 15 minutes before assembling to release their natural juices, deepen flavor, and allow cornstarch to thicken the filling more effectively.
Use Cold Coconut Oil for Better Crumble 🧊
Keep coconut oil chilled and cut it into small pieces when mixing with oats and flour; this creates a more distinct, crumbly texture rather than a dense, cake-like topping.
Don't Skip the Cornstarch Layer 🥄
Dust cornstarch directly on the pears before covering with crumble to absorb excess moisture and prevent a soggy bottom while maintaining juicy fruit filling.
