Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe pears – peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Optional substitutions: For a gluten-free version, swap out the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend. If you’re nut-free, simply omit the pecans and walnuts.


Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and dish
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine the pears and spices
    In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced pears with granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until each pear slice is coated with the sugary spice mix.
  3. Arrange the pears
    Place the coated pear mixture evenly in the greased baking dish.
  4. Prepare the oat topping
    In another bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, melted butter, chopped walnuts, and optional pecans. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly, buttery texture.
  5. Assemble and bake
    Sprinkle the oat-walnut crumble evenly over the pears. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the topping turns golden brown and the pears are tender.
  6. Serve and enjoy
    Serve your warm crumble on its own, or pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.

Notes

  • Choose ripe pears: Opt for soft, ripe pears, such as Bartlett or Anjou, which will yield a juicy, tender filling.
  • Chill the topping if needed: For an extra-crispy topping, refrigerate the crumble mixture for 10 minutes before sprinkling it over the pears.
  • Control sweetness: Adjust the sugar based on the natural sweetness of your pears—sweeter pears may need a touch less sugar.
