Make this easy pear crisp featuring tender, spiced pears under a crunchy, buttery oat topping. This comforting dessert uses simple ingredients and is perfect for a cozy autumn evening.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 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 packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced pears, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat the pears evenly.
  3. Spread the spiced pear mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, prepare the topping. Combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the pears in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.
  8. Let the pear crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute half of the rolled oats with chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • If your pears are very firm, you can microwave the filling mixture for 2 minutes before topping to start the softening process.
  • This dessert is excellent served with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
