Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large ripe pears
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon to the pears. Toss to coat evenly, then transfer the pear mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
In another mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and ground nutmeg.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the oat mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until it forms coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the pears, ensuring that the fruit is fully covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are bubbling around the edges.
Remove the pear crisp from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
