Organic Roasted Pear with Maple Pecan Crumble

Serves 6
GF, DF & RSF

Ingredients

• 3 Packham Pears, halved
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
• 1/3 cup organic maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• Pinch sea salt
• 4 medjool dates, pitted
• 1/4 cup coconut yoghurt

Method

• Preheat oven to 200ºC.
• Line a baking tray with baking paper, set aside.
• Scoop out the middle centre part of each pear.
• Slice a small portion off the bottom so the pears can lie flat.
• In a medium sized bowl combine oats, pecans, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves
  and salt. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and fill each pear.
• Cover the tray with another layer of baking paper so the crumble doesn’t burn. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until the pears are soft and the crumble is crispy.
• Cut the medjool dates into small pieces and place on top of each pear. Serve with a dollop of
  coconut yogurt, pinch of cinnamon and drizzled maple syrup.
• Enjoy warmed!
