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

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 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.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the pears.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender and bubbly.
  7. 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.
