This gluten-free, vegan, paleo-friendly, naturally maple-sweetened pear pomegranate crumble is ideal for a festive winter party. It also happens to be gluten-free.
I absolutely adore this pear pomegranate crumble recipe that I recently stumbled upon. The combination of sweet, juicy pears and tangy pomegranate seeds are like a match made in culinary heaven. And to top it all off, the warm, comforting cinnamon and cardamom spice mix is just heavenly. This recipe is perfect for those who love fruit pies, but want something quicker and easier to make.
The crumble topping is crumblier and adds a lovely crunchy texture to the dish. And let's not forget the pièce de résistance - a dollop of whipped cream on top of the warm crumble. I prefer using coconut whipped cream, which adds a delightful coconut flavor to the dish and also keeps it vegan. Trust me, it will turn your dessert into a soupy, goopy, and delicious mess. Now, let's talk about the star ingredient of this recipe - pomegranate.
These ruby-red jewels are not only beautiful to look at, but they're also packed with antioxidants and vitamins. Pomegranate seeds add a sweet-tart flavor and a crunchy texture to this crumble. I love how they burst in my mouth and give every bite a juicy pop. Moving on to the coconut whipped cream, it's a game-changer, and I can't imagine this crumble without it. However, making it can be a hit or miss, especially if you are using the wrong brand of coconut milk. After many failed attempts, I finally found the perfect brand that works like a charm every time.
Now, let's get to the recipe. Here's how I make my pear pomegranate crumble:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pears and pomegranate seeds.
- In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, coconut oil, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt. Stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the crumble mixture over the fruit mixture and stir until the fruit is evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
- Let the crumble cool for 10 minutes before serving with a dollop of coconut whipped cream on top.
