This pear crumble recipe creates a rustic dessert with soft, sweet baked pears topped with a buttery oat crumble. It’s perfect served warm with ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6-8 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 6 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to sweetness of pears)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced pears, granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the pears evenly.
  3. Pour the pear mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  5. Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use your fingers, a pastry blender, or a fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pear mixture in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pear filling is bubbling and tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Let the crumble cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Choose firm but ripe pears for the best texture.
  • Adjust the amount of granulated sugar based on the sweetness of your pears.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom to the pear filling.
  • You can prepare the pear filling and crumble topping ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator. Assemble and bake just before serving.
