You can make this simple, comforting pear crisp featuring tender pears, warm cinnamon, and a buttery oat topping. It is a perfect cozy dessert for fall evenings.

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 packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) 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 medium bowl, combine the sliced pears, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss gently to coat. Pour the pear mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, prepare the topping. Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and salt.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Do not overmix; some pea-sized pieces of butter are fine.
  5. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the pear mixture in the baking dish.
  6. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly around the edges.
  7. Let the pear crisp cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly.

Notes

  • For a nut pear crisp variation, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping mixture.
  • If you want a cranberry pear crisp, add 1 cup of fresh or frozen cranberries to the pear filling mixture before topping.
  • Serve this warm spiced dessert with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra comfort.
