I still remember my grandmother making apple crisp every fall. The aroma of cinnamon and baked fruit would fill the house, creating an atmosphere of warmth and love. I wanted to recreate that feeling, but with a twist. That's how this Lemon Pear Crisp with Coconut Streusel came about. I initially tried apple but pear has a certain elegance that apple doesn't, its subtle sweetness melding perfectly with the tangy lemon. The coconut streusel, well, that was just a happy accident when I ran out of regular oats, and trust me – its the best thing about this crisp! This crisp offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors. The tender pears, bright lemon, and crispy coconut streusel create a symphony of sensations that's both comforting and exciting. What does this crisp mean to you? What cozy moments will it bring to your home? I know it will become a tradition in our household.
Making this crisp is incredibly simple, which is perfect for those days when you want a homemade dessert without spending hours in the kitchen. You simply toss the pears with lemon juice and sugar, then layer them in a baking dish. The coconut streusel topping comes together in minutes, using pantry staples. And the best part? The aroma that fills your kitchen as it bakes is simply divine, it's almost therapeutic. Consider using different types of pears for a unique flavor profile. Bosc pears have a slightly spicy flavor that pairs well with lemon, while Anjou pears are sweeter and more delicate. Also, don't be shy with the lemon zest – it adds a wonderful fragrance and zing to the filling.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Adjust the oven rack to the middle position.
- Prepare the pears: Wash, peel, core, and slice the pears into approximately 1/4-inch thick pieces. Aim for uniform slices to ensure even cooking.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced pears with lemon juice, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Make sure the pears are well coated, as this will help them soften and release their juices during baking.
- Transfer the pear mixture to a 8x8 inch baking dish. Spread the pears evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the coconut streusel topping. Combine all-purpose flour, rolled oats, shredded coconut, brown sugar, and melted butter. Use a fork or your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the coconut streusel evenly over the pear mixture in the baking dish. Ensure that the entire surface is covered for a uniform crispy topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pear filling is bubbly. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly and prevents it from being too runny.
- Serve warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It’s also delicious with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the pear mixture.
- If you don’t have rolled oats, you can use more shredded coconut or a different type of nut.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
