Pear Crisp – Healthy Dessert Recipe

Pear crisp with sliced pears, oats, and muesli all baked and you have a super healthy dessert. I was all about decadent chocolate desserts as a teenager. But I have taken to fruit desserts recently. And I LOVE THEM! From peach cobblers to plum galettes and cherry and chocolate ganache tarts – this summer has been a riot of stone fruit desserts. Check out some of my expeditions here and here.

I don’t usually pen down a lot of dessert recipes, but check out my no-bake coconut and blueberry tart.

Ingredients for Pear Crisp – serves 4

  • Pears – 3
  • Lemon juice – 1tbsp
  • Cornflour – 1tbsp
  • Brown sugar – 3tbsp + 1/3 cup for the topping
  • Salt – 1tsp
  • Cinnamon powder – 1tsp
  • Rolled oats – 2/3 cups
  • Muesli with dry fruits – 1/3 cup
  • All-purpose flour – 1/3 cup
  • Extra-virgin coconut oil – 1tbsp
  • Butter – 1/4 cup, melted + more to line the baking dish

Method

  • De-seed and thinly slice the pears.
  • In a bowl combine the pears, lemon juice, cornflour, cinnamon powder, salt, and 3 tbsp brown sugar. Mix well and set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine oats and muesli. Mix.
  • Sieve through the all-purpose flour into the bowl.
  • Mix in coconut oil and butter and mix well to form a crumble. I like the sweet aroma of coconut oil, but if you are like the many who are averse to it, you can simply switch it for more butter.
  • Pre-heat the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes.
  • Line a baking dish or Borosil bowl with a few drops of melted butter.
  • Add the pear mix and spread generously. Spread the crisp mix evenly on top.
  • Bake at 200 degrees for 35 minutes till the top becomes a crackling brown. Set to cool down for 10 minutes before serving.

Serve the pear crisp with vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche!

  1. Would love to try this but I don’t have Cornflour on hand, what would be a good substitute? I don’t have arrowroot too
