Ingredients

Fruit:

  • 6 pears (Not overly ripe. Peeled, cored & cut into 1/4 inch slices)

  • 2 tbsp of pure maple syrup

  • 1/3 cup of coconut sugar (or raw brown sugar)

  • 1 tbsp of pure vanilla extract

  • 1/2 tsp of nutmeg

  • 1 tsp of cinnamon

  • 1 tsp of freshly grated ginger


Topping:

  • 1 cup of spelt flour

  • 1 cup of (gluten-free) old fashioned rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup of coconut sugar (or raw brown sugar)

  • 1/2 cup of melted Rolling Meadow Unsalted Butter (about 4-5 tablespoons)

  • pinch of sea salt

How To Make It

1

Heat the oven to 350F

2

Wash, peel, core & slice the pears. Cut them in half right across the middle and then use each 1/2 to cut vertically & then across to create pear chunks as opposed to pear slices. Pear chunks are thicker and hold the fruit base far better.

3

Toss the pear chunks, maple syrup, coconut sugar, ginger, vanilla, cinnamon & nutmeg to ensure and even coating. Place the fruit filling on a pie dish.

4

In a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients for the topping: spelt flour, coconut sugar, & oats. Once well mixed, incorporate the butter & mix until it’s evenly absorbed.

5

A nice doughy paste will form, use clean hands to firmly press the mixture over the pears sitting on the pie dish.

6

Sprinkle some coconut sugar (about 1 tbsp) across the top to ensure it caramelizes nicely.

7

Bake it by placing the pie dish over a cookie tray to ensure the bottom does not burn or dry up. Bake for about 45 minutes or until golden and you see the edges bubbling with filling.

8

Enjoy warm with a dollop of dairy free coconut or vanilla ice cream OR with freshly made coconut whipped cream!
