Alpha Gal Friendly Pear and Cranberry Crumble

Tart cranberries and sweet, tender pears come together under a golden, coconut-kissed crumble topping that smells absolutely incredible as it bakes. Every ingredient here is entirely plant-based and free from mammalian products, which makes this the kind of cozy dessert you can serve without a second thought when you're managing alpha-gal syndrome. Cassava flour and shredded coconut give the topping a satisfying crunch and a lightly tropical note, while maple syrup and coconut oil bind everything together without a drop of butter or dairy. The filling gets its body from arrowroot starch rather than cornstarch or flour, and warm spices like Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric make the bubbling fruit smell like the best version of autumn you've ever experienced. Letting it rest for ten minutes after it comes out of the oven is the hardest part — but that short wait is what transforms the juices into a glossy, jammy sauce that pools perfectly around every scoop. Serve it straight from the baking dish and watch it disappear.
