Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized ripe pears
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.75 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 0.5 cups butter
- 0.25 cups chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add lemon juice, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the pears. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Transfer the pear mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In another mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, 0.5 cups of all-purpose flour, and chopped pecans (if using).
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the oat mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture is crumbly.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the pears.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender.
Allow the crisp to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
