Ingredients
Scale
6 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, toss the sliced pears with lemon juice.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the pear mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish.
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 treat.
You can add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the oat topping for added crunch.
