1
For the Crust: Preheat oven to 350F. Combine all ingredients in the food processor and till finely ground, scraping down sides and bottom once or twice. Chill while the oven is preheating. Press on the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch spring-form pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and cool.

For the Pie: Keep the oven at 350F

In a large non-reactive bowl, combine together and thoroughly coat the sliced pears with the lemon zest and juice. Add the date puree, sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and mix all together.
4
Pour into prepared pie shell.
5
Cover the pie with the topping (below). Bake for one hour. Remove from oven and cool. Serve with ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
