Ingredients
Pear Filling
- 2 Bartlett or bosc pears, large, peeled, ripe but firm
- 2 tsp. Flour
- 1/4 c Sugar
- 1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Allspice
- 1 tbsp. Lemon juice (~1/2 lemon)
Crumble
- 1/2 c Oats (1 minute instant or 5 minute old fashioned)
- 1/2 c Flour
- 1/2 c Brown sugar (loosely packed)
- 1/4 tsp. Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
- 5 tbsp. Butter, melted
- 1 pinch Salt (only if using unsalted butter)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel and core the pears, then cut into 1" slices, 1/8" - 1/4" thick.
- In a medium bowl, mix apples with flour, sugar, cinnamon, and allspice with a wooden spoon. Add lemon juice and toss to coat. Set aside to rest.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine all crumble topping ingredients except the butter and gently whisk to combine. Stir in the butter. You should start seeing clumps forming; if not, add more melted butter.
- Pour apples into a 1.5 qt baking dish (roughly 6x9") and distribute evenly. Pour the topping mixture over the apples and spread evenly.
- Bake 30 minutes uncovered, until the top is a golden brown and the pear mixture is starting to bubble up the sides. Check at 20 mins to see if it is browning evenly and rotate as necessary.
- When done, let sit loosely covered for 5 mins. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
