Indulge guilt-free with this Low Carb Classic Pear Crumble, a modern twist on a traditional dessert that doesn't skimp on flavor.

The buttery, nutty crumble topping, enhanced with chopped walnuts and a splash of vanilla, bakes to a golden brown perfection, creating a delightful texture contrast against the tender, spiced pears. Ready in just under 45 minutes, this wholesome treat is perfect for anyone seeking a delicious and low-carb dessert option. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or creamy Greek yogurt for the ultimate cozy indulgence.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges. Place them in a medium-sized bowl.
Add lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of erythritol, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the pears. Toss gently to coat the pears evenly.
Transfer the pear mixture into an 8-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, remaining 2 tablespoons of erythritol, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, salt, and chopped walnuts.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small pan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the vanilla extract to the butter.
Pour butter mixture into the almond flour mixture and mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumbly mixture evenly over the pears in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt if desired.
