Wheat Free Cinnamon-Walnut Pear Oat Crisp

Warm, bubbling fruit filling topped with a golden, crunchy crown — this pear crisp is the kind of dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. The topping leans on rolled oats, almond flour, and roughly chopped walnuts instead of any wheat-based flour, so it comes together beautifully without sacrificing that satisfying crunch you expect from a classic crisp. Arrowroot starch thickens the pear filling just enough to give you those gorgeous, jammy edges without turning the whole thing into a soggy mess. Maple syrup and coconut oil do all the heavy lifting in the topping, binding everything into loose, rustic clumps that bake up irresistibly crisp and deep golden. The combination of cinnamon, ginger, and ripe pears is genuinely cozy — the kind of flavor profile that feels fancy but requires almost no effort. Let it rest for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven and the filling will thicken into something truly spoonable. Serve it as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert that nobody will believe is this simple.
