Make this simple pear crisp featuring tender, spiced pears beneath a buttery, crunchy oat topping. It is a comforting dessert ready quickly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 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°F (190°C). 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. Spread the pear mixture into the prepared baking dish in 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 spiced pears.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.
  8. Let the pear crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute 2 tablespoons of the cold butter with browned butter in the topping mixture.
  • If you want a sweeter dessert, increase the granulated sugar in the filling to 1/3 cup.
  • Serve this warm pear dessert with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic finish.
