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

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced pears with lemon juice.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. 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.
  5. Pour the pear mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the pears.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender and bubbly.
  8. 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.
  • Adjust the spices to your preference.
