Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish (approx. 9x9 inches).
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges, then place them into the baking dish.
Sprinkle the sultanas evenly over the pears. Add the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract, tossing gently to combine.
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, rolled oats, and light brown sugar.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes, then add it to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Evenly spread the crumble mixture over the pear and sultana base, pressing down lightly to create a uniform topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of custard for a classic touch.
