Ingredients
- 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
- Prepare the oven and dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking. - 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. - Arrange the pears
Place the coated pear mixture evenly in the greased baking dish. - 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. - 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. - 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.

- 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.
