Equipment

9 x 9 baking dish

Ingredients

Filling:

6 pears (ripe)(about 6 cups, peeled, cored, and sliced)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping:

¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar (packed)
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter (cold)(cut into cubes)
½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven: to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter or spray a 9×9-inch baking pan.
Make filling: In a large bowl, toss pears with lemon juice. Add sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Mix until pears are coated. Spread mixture evenly in prepared pan.
Make topping: In another bowl, combine oats, flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter, fork, or fingers until mixture is crumbly (like coarse sand with pea-sized bits). Stir in nuts if using. I used my food processor to quickly combine these ingredients.
Assemble & bake: Sprinkle topping evenly over pear filling. Bake 35–40 minutes, until pears are bubbling and topping is golden brown.
Cool & serve: Let cool 10–15 minutes so juices thicken slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
