MSG Free Honey-Pear Crumble Bars

These bars are the kind of thing you pull out of the oven and immediately want to eat straight from the pan — golden, fragrant, and just the right balance of tender fruit and buttery crunch. Ripe pears get cooked down with honey, a touch of nutmeg, and a splash of apple cider vinegar until they turn glossy and jammy, then they're sandwiched between a crisp oat-and-rice-flour crumble that bakes up beautifully without any wheat. Every single ingredient here is whole and straightforward — no flavor packets, no seasoning blends, no processed shortcuts that might sneak in unwanted additives. That matters more than people realize, because a lot of packaged baked goods and bar mixes rely on flavor enhancers to do the heavy lifting. Here, the honey and pears do all the work on their own, and the result tastes genuinely homemade in the best possible way. The tapioca starch pulls double duty — binding the crumble and thickening the filling — so the bars hold their shape when you slice them into that satisfying 3×3 grid. They're the kind of treat you can share without having to explain a single ingredient on the list.
