Yesss — Vanilla Cardamom Pear Crisp 🍐✨🌿 is the definition of soft, sweet, and secretly sophisticated. It’s warm-spiced, golden-topped, and smells like a hug from a candle in a vintage sweater. A little rustic, a little fancy, and very much a main character dessert 🫶
🍐 Vanilla Cardamom Pear Crisp
For the filling:
- 4 ripe pears, sliced thin (Bosc or Anjou are perf)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cardamom (or more if you’re bold ✨)
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar (depending on pear sweetness)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or flour (to thicken those dreamy juices)
For the crisp topping:
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup almond flour or regular flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ cup cold butter or coconut oil, cut into pieces
- Optional: chopped pecans or sliced almonds for a little crunch 🌰
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix the filling:
Toss sliced pears with vanilla, cardamom, lemon juice, sweetener, and cornstarch. Spread into a greased baking dish (8×8 is perfect). - Make the crisp topping:
Mix oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in nuts if using. - Assemble & bake:
Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the pears. Bake 35–40 min until bubbly and golden brown on top. - Let it rest (if you can wait):
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or coconut whip. Swoon. 💫
Serving Vibe:
Best enjoyed with cozy socks, a steamy drink, and the sound of soft rain or a record player in the background. This is a quiet joy dessert — gentle, golden, and romantic 🌧️🍨📚
