Ingredients

Scale

Pear Blueberry Filling

  • 4 large pears (I used Bosc), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks that are 1/41/2 inch thick (870 grams)
  • 2 ¼ cups (about 300 grams) blueberries
  • 1/4 cup (55 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (35 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp of ground cloves
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 4 tsp lemon juice

Crumble topping

  • 2/3 cup (65 grams) old-fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup (45 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher salt (or 1/4 tsp of table salt)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (30 grams) sliced almonds
  • ⅓ cup + 1 T (75 grams) coconut oil, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350˚F.
  2. For your filling, peel and chop your pears into chunks that are between 1/4 – 1/2 inch thick
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and granulated sugar.
  4. To that bowl, add chopped pears and blueberries with your vanilla extract and lemon juice. Stir to evenly coat fruit with flour/sugar mixture. Transfer to a 9 by 2 ½ - inch pie dish.
  5. For your crumble topping, in a medium bowl, mix together the old fashioned oats, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Pour melted coconut oil over the crumble mixture and combine until it’s moist and appears similar to wet sand.
  6. Top pie dish with crumble topping, and bake uncovered at 350˚F for 50-55 minutes, or until top is golden brown and fruit juices are bubbling at the edges. Let crumble cool at least 15 minutes before serving. 

Notes

  • This dessert is delicious when reheated on day two. Just scoop the number of servings you need from the dish and heat them up in the microwave on individual plates.
  • If desired, add your topping (like whipped cream or ice cream) right before serving.
