Calories: 335kcal
Ingredients
Pear Filling
- 6 cups pears sliced
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ tablespoon cornstarch or arrow root
Oat Topping
- ½ cup butter softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a baking dish or cast iron skillet.
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and oats. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, add the softened butter and mix until everything is combined into a crumbly mixture. Set aside.
- Place the sliced pears in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and cornstarch; and stir until the pears are evenly coated.
- Pour the pear mixture into the buttered baking dish in an even layer. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the top of the pears.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the pears are soft.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Scoop it up and top with ice cream or caramel sauce.
Notes
- Don’t slice the pears too thin or they’ll cook down too much. Aim for thicker slices so they stay soft but still hold their shape.
- I do not typically peel my pears. This is because it takes extra time, adds nutritional value by leaving on the skins, and I don't mind the texture. Feel free to peel if you desire.
- To make this recipe gluten free, swap out the flour for gluten free one-for-one flour.
