Pear-Walnut Dessert Crumble {Gluten Free}

Pear-walnut dessert crumble is a gluten free, one pan recipe that’ll make your dessert dreams come true!

Tender pears, crunchy walnuts, and oats are seasoned and baked so they’re crispy on the outside and sweet inside. It’s the perfect Fall dessert, a brunch treat, or even for Mother’s Day!

Brunch Week 2015 is sponsored by several companies. DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE SPONSORS IS LISTED IN THIS POST. I received free products from the sponsors, which I used to create the delicious recipes that I’m sharing this week. I received no further compensation, and my opinions of the products are my own.

 

I’ve admitted more than once that I’m a bit of a lazy chef. It’s a character defect I embrace because it means I enjoy recipes that are 5 ingredients or less, and most of them take less than 30 minutes to make. I love recipe shortcuts, too!

Today’s pear-walnut crumble fits in the less than 30 minutes category, thanks in part to one of this week’s sponsors, Woot Froot, who sent me pears that had already been cored and sliced. As a result, I spent very little time wielding a knife to dice up the fruit. Those single serving sized pouches of pears were just what this lazy chef needed, and they made great stuffers for Brian’s lunch box, too!

I also used ingredients from a few of our other sponsors. Vanilla extract from Nielsen-Massey, crunchy California Walnuts, brown sugar from Dixie Crystals, and gluten-free oats from Bob’s Red Mill.

FOOD FACT: Oats are naturally free of gluten, but Bob’s Red Mill manufactures products at their facility that aren’t gluten free, so they have an entire line of products that are manufactured in a gluten-free facility. Just one of the many reasons that I adore them. My pantry always has a bag or two of their low carb baking mix in it, too. I use it in almost all of the low carb cookies and muffins that I make.

As the crumble is baking, your home will smell like sweet cinnamon vanilla.Click To Tweet, and when it’s served up to your brunch guests as a warm, freshly baked skillet of deliciousness with a creamy cold scoop of ice cream on top, they just may be begging you for second helpings.

Do you like sweet treats like this pear-walnut dessert crumble? What are your favorite fruits to use when you make them?
For another dessert option, you should bake up a batch of adorable, mini-sized Creamsicle Bundt cakes, too.

I hope you enjoy this pear-walnut dessert crumble recipe.
