Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears, cranberries, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir gently to coat the fruit evenly, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, prepare the crumble topping by whisking together 1 cup of flour, brown sugar, and rolled oats. If using pecans, stir them into the mixture.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the topping mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Evenly spread the crumble topping over the pear and cranberry filling in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Allow the crumble to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
