Pear Blueberry Crisp

This easy pear and blueberry crisp recipe is perfect for a warm summer night or when you want something sweet after dinner. I’m sharing a recipe I have been working on for the last few months. It’s quick, easy and very tasty. I wanted to come up with a dessert recipe which you can use as more of a snack at breakfast or lunch time. Not too sweet, but still hits all your taste buds (sweet, sour and salt).

Paleo Pear and Blueberry Crisp

This delightful treat, a paleo pear and blueberry crisp, is sure to please everyone.

This dish’s crunchy topping is really simple to create and wonderfully complements the filling. Blueberries, pears, and a small amount of mixed spice make up the filling. You’ll be coming back for more of this delicious combination.

This meal may be referred to as crumble rather than crisp depending on where you are in the world. For instance, in Australia, we refer to it as a crumble, whereas in the United States, it is called a crisp.

This crisp should serve about six people from one batch. The extent to which folks are actually hungry and whether you’re offering it with anything extra will determine this.

 Tweaking the Recipe

Here are just a few suggestions for how you can enhance this dish if you think you can.

For a bit more taste, you can season the topping and filling with various spices. Currently, I use cinnamon and mixed spice, but adding something like nutmeg would be fantastic.

The topping will taste fantastic with chopped nuts. Hazelnuts, walnuts, or even almonds would all be delicious in this dish. I advise choosing your preferred nut and utilizing it.

For greater flavor, more fruit might be incorporated into the filling. If you wanted to add more fruit, apples go well with both pear and blueberries, making this the perfect option.

 Serving this Blueberry and Pear Crisp

Below are a few suggestions for foods that would pair well with this pear and blueberry crisp.

This dish would pair well with anything creamy made of coconut. Either start from scratch or purchase a supermarket version that adheres to the paleo diet.

Ice cream made with wonderful vanilla bean is still an option. Finding a paleo-friendly variety will be necessary, or you can cheat and consume conventional ice cream.

This dish’s leftovers are unquestionably excellent to keep. The leftovers can be kept for a few days in the refrigerator or for several months in the freezer.

I really enjoy eating this for breakfast the following morning. If you don’t have the time or resources to reheat the leftovers, don’t be scared to eat it cold because it tastes very delicious cold.
