Chestnut Free Orange-Pistachio 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. Ripe pears are tossed with fresh orange juice, orange zest, maple syrup, and a touch of ginger before being blanketed in a topping of rolled oats, chopped pistachios, almond flour, and coconut oil. The arrowroot starch works quietly in the background, thickening the juices into a glossy, jammy filling that holds together beautifully once it rests. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from chestnuts, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about sneaky additions hiding in a store-bought mix. The pistachio and orange combination gives the topping a slightly exotic, nutty brightness that elevates this well beyond a basic fruit crumble. It's the kind of recipe that feels special enough for a dinner party but easy enough to throw together on a weeknight when you have a few pears that need using up.
