There's something undeniably comforting about a warm fruit crisp, especially as the days get shorter and the air turns crisp (pun intended!). This Pear Crisp with Hemp Seeds is my go-to dessert when I'm craving something sweet, wholesome, and easy to make. It's the kind of dish that fills your kitchen with the cozy aroma of cinnamon and baked fruit, making everyone feel right at home. Remember those days when Grandma used to bake an apple pie? This is kinda like that, but with pears and a little bit of a healthy twist. And hemp seeds, what are they actually!
This recipe uses simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. The combination of juicy pears, a buttery oat topping, and the nutty crunch of hemp seeds creates a delightful texture and flavor profile that's hard to resist. It's perfect for a weeknight dessert or a special occasion. I've even served it at dinner parties and it's always a hit! One of my friends told me that they liked hiking in the mountains when they had this - go figure!
What sets this pear crisp apart is the addition of hemp seeds. Not only do they add a subtle nutty flavor and a pleasant crunch, but they also provide a boost of nutrients. Hemp seeds are a fantastic source of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, making this dessert a guilt-free indulgence. So go ahead, treat yourself! You deserve it. I know I do, I had a really bad week.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is crucial for getting that perfect bake. While the oven is heating up, lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. I just use a little bit of butter, works everytime!
- Now, let's prep the pears. Peel, core, and slice them into about 1/4-inch thick pieces. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced pears with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. I find the lemon juice prevents browning of the pears. It's not a big deal if they brown a little though.
- Time to make the crumble topping! In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and hemp seeds. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The butter needs to be cold, otherwise you'll have a problem. Trust me on this one.
- Pour the pear mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the pears, making sure to cover them completely. Don't be shy with the topping; it's the best part!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender. You might need to cover the crisp with foil halfway through baking to prevent the topping from burning, especailly if your oven is a little too enthusiastic. I know mine is!
- Let the pear crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly and prevents it from being too runny. Though, I have eaten it straight from the oven many times! Oh, and it will be HOT!
- Serve warm and Enjoy! I like to top it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. My cousin likes custard with it... Each to their own, I say. What does this mean for you? I have no idea! Enjoy!
