Description
Make this simple, comforting baked pear dessert featuring tender spiced pears under a buttery oat crumble topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced pears with the granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread the pear mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the pears.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the oats with chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Serve this warm dessert with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- If your pears are very firm, you can microwave the filling mixture for 2 minutes before topping to start the softening process.
