Ingredients:

2 pears
460g
1/2 cup cranberries
54g
1/4 cup honey
88g
1 tbsp lemon juice
16g
2 tsp cinnamon
5g
1/4 tsp ginger
0.45g
2/3 cup walnuts
80g
1/3 cup dried coconut meat
27g
2 tbsp coconut oil
27g
1 tbsp butter
14g
1/4 tsp salt
1.50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Pears and Cranberries:
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.
3. Make the Topping:
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.
4. Assemble the Crisp:
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.
5. Bake:
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.
6. Cool and Serve:
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.
