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 packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced pears, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat the pears evenly.
  3. Pour the pear mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, prepare the topping. Combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the pears in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.
  8. Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, add 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the oat topping mixture.
  • If your pears are very firm, you can microwave the filling mixture for 2 minutes before topping to start the softening process.
  • This dessert is best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
