Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 4 ripe pears (650g) I used D'Anjou
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp tapioca starch
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
Topping
- 1 cup blanched almond flour (95g)
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch (30g)
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut (34g)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup palm shortening (room temp)
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make the Filling: Wash the pears and remove the stem and core. Cut the pears into about 1/4 inch pieces, then place in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining filling ingredients and mix until the pears are well coated. Pour the filling into a 7" x 11" or 8" square baking dish.
- Make the Crumble: Combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, flaked coconut, cinnamon and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add in the shortening and maple syrup. Mix with a fork, then use your hands to combine the mixture. Once the dough is barely mixed together (still slightly crumbly), use your hands to crumble the topping over the filling. Gently press down with your hands.
- Place the crumble in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes.
- Cool slightly and serve warm, or refrigerate overnight and serve chilled.
- Best stored in a sealed container in the fridge, up to one week.
