Pear Crisp or Crumble Recipe

American · Dessert · 55 min total

A warm, comforting dessert featuring tender spiced pears topped with a buttery oat crumble. Perfect for fall or any time you crave a simple fruit dessert.

Ingredients

• 6 ripe but firm pears (such as Bosc or Bartlett), peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
• 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 rolled oats
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar 1.5-quart dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine sliced pears, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat evenly. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces.
4. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pears.
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips

• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in oven or microwave.
• For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free oats.
