Ingredients
Scale
4 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, toss the pear slices with lemon juice, granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour the pear mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the pears.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender and bubbly.
Let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
Pears that are slightly firm work best as they hold their shape during baking.
You can add 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the oat topping for added crunch.
