How is this Spiced Pear Crisp prepared without cooking?

This crisp is prepared raw by simply stirring the pear base with lemon juice and agave, then pulsing the topping ingredients in a processor before assembling, requiring no baking.

What type of pears are best for this raw crisp?

Any firm, ripe pears that hold their shape well when sliced or chunked will work beautifully, such as Bosc, Anjou, or Bartlett varieties.

Can I substitute the nuts in the crisp topping?

Yes, you can experiment with other raw nuts like almonds or cashews, or use more seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a nut-free option in the topping.

How should I store leftover Spiced Pear Crisp?

Store any leftover crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The topping may soften slightly over time but will still be delicious.

Is the cashew cream topping essential for this recipe?

While optional, the cashew cream adds a wonderful creamy contrast to the crisp texture and spiced pears, enhancing the overall dessert experience with its richness.
