Make this simple pear crisp featuring sweet pears topped with a buttery oat crumble flavored with brown sugar and cinnamon. It is a quick, comforting fall dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

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

Notes

  • For a cranberry pear crisp variation, add 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen cranberries to the pear mixture before topping.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic experience.
  • If your pears are very soft, reduce the baking time slightly to prevent them from becoming mushy.
