Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 6 cups peeled and sliced pears (about 6-7 medium pears) ((or use a combination of apples and pears))
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick (½ cup) salted butter, softened at room temperature
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup finely-chopped pecans
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Optional, for serving: vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Place peeled, sliced pears in a large bowl. Add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt; toss to coat.
  • Transfer pears to the prepared baking dish.
  • In a separate bowl, use a fork (or your fingers) to mix together butter, flour, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pecans, and salt until completely combined. The mixture will be lumpy and clumpy and should look like a streusel crumb topping.
  • Spread topping evenly over the pears.
  • Sprinkle with more cinnamon, if desired.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top becomes golden brown and crispy and the pears are soft. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Top with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce!
