Warm, bubbling fruit filling meets a golden, coconut-kissed topping in this cozy autumn dessert that feels indulgent without a single ingredient that could cause concern for those avoiding yeast. The combination of sweet ripe pears and tart cranberries creates a filling that's bright and jammy, deepened by warm Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, and a whisper of turmeric for a flavor that's anything but ordinary. Arrowroot starch pulls the juices together as everything bakes, so you get that luscious, thick filling rather than a watery puddle under your crumble. The topping comes together with cassava flour, shredded coconut, coconut oil, and maple syrup — no grains, no leavening agents, just a naturally crumbly, slightly chewy crust that turns beautifully golden in the oven. Because every ingredient here is straightforward and whole, there's no need to scan labels for hidden additives or fermented derivatives that can sneak into packaged dessert mixes. It's the kind of dish that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible and looks impressive enough for a dinner party but is genuinely simple to pull off on a weeknight.
