Description
A warm, comforting dessert made with ripe pears and a spiced oat topping, this pear crisp is quick, cozy, and irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients
4–5 ripe pears (Bartlett, Bosc or Anjou)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
2. Peel, core, and slice the pears evenly. Toss them in lemon juice, flour, half the brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread evenly in the dish.
3. In a separate bowl, combine oats, remaining sugar, flour, and chilled butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until crumbly.
4. Spoon the topping over the pear mixture, covering as evenly as possible.
5. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the topping is crisp and golden brown and juices are bubbling.
6. Let cool slightly before serving with ice cream, whipped cream, or yogurt.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom.
To make it healthier, use less sugar or substitute with coconut sugar.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
