Chestnut Free Pear and Ginger Crumble

Warm spiced pears bubbling beneath a golden, nutty topping — this crumble is the kind of dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. Fresh ginger and cardamom give the filling a gentle heat that plays beautifully against the natural sweetness of ripe pears, while a splash of lemon juice keeps everything bright and balanced. The topping comes together with rolled oats, almond flour, and roughly chopped walnuts, all bound with maple syrup and coconut oil for a satisfying crunch that holds up even as the jammy filling softens underneath. There's no wheat flour, no refined sugar, and — crucially — no chestnut or chestnut-derived ingredients anywhere in the recipe, so you can serve it confidently to anyone navigating that allergy. Crumbles can sometimes sneak in unexpected nut-based additions that cause concern, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify at the store. Let it rest for a few minutes after baking so the filling thickens into that perfect scoopable consistency, then serve it as-is or with your favorite dairy-free topping.
