Prepare the Crust and Crumble Topping

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Mix all of the ingredients for the crust and crumble topping in a mixing bowl until everything is well-combined.

2

Measure out ½ cup of the mixture and set it aside to use later for topping the bars. Transfer the rest of the oat mixture to the parchment-lined baking pan and press it into an even layer for the bottom crust.

Make the Pear Filling

4

Combine pears, water, pure maple syrup, salt, and ground cinnamon in a saucepan and stir well.

Once boiling, stir in the gluten-free all-purpose flour and continue cooking for another 2 to 5 minutes, until the pears have softened and the juices are nice and thick.
