Small Batch Cinnamon Pear Crisp (vegan, gluten-free)
Happy first day of fall! I’m so ready for some sweater weather and all the yummy fall treats. To kick off the first day of fall, this cinnamon pear crisp will warm your soul and house up with the most cozy flavors and smells. The soft, cinnamony, and sweet pears with the crunchy, sweet crisp makes for the most perfect fall dessert. I feel like pears don’t get as much attention as pumpkin or apple and I don’t know why! They are SO delicious and juicy. I’m going to give pears lots of love because we love eating them in our house. My son is obsessed with them.
Any type of fruit crisp is probably my top 3 desserts. I always request an apple crisp on my birthday because I think it’s better than cake. I’m a sucker for anything cinnamon, nutty, crisp, and sweet. Anyways, this cinnamon pear crisp is a small batch recipe, but feel free to double it and bake it in a small square pan. It makes 3 ramekin sized servings and it is to die for. Literally just warms your heart and tummy with all the yummy goodness!
