Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash, core, and slice the pears into thin pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears and cranberries. Drizzle with lemon juice and honey. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of ginger over the fruit mixture. Toss everything gently to ensure the fruit is well-coated.
In a food processor or blender, pulse the walnuts and dried coconut meat until they are coarsely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a separate bowl. Add melted coconut oil, butter, the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt to the walnut and coconut mixture. Stir until combined thoroughly.
In an oven-safe baking dish, spread the pear and cranberry mixture evenly. Sprinkle the walnut and coconut topping over the fruit, ensuring it covers the mixture evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the fruit mixture is bubbling.
Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm pears to ensure they hold their shape during baking.
- Fresh or frozen cranberries can be used; if using frozen, there's no need to thaw them first.
- For a finer crumble topping, pulse the walnuts and dried coconut meat in a food processor briefly.
- To make this recipe vegan, you can substitute the butter with additional coconut oil.
- Serve the crisp warm for the best taste, optionally topped with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream or coconut whipped cream.
