Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 6 cups Fresh Pears Peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar For sweetness
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon For warmth and spice
  • 1 pinch Salt To enhance flavor
Topping
  • 1 cup Oats For texture
  • 1/2 cup Flour For body
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Can substitute with white sugar
  • 1/2 cup Butter Melted
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon Added to topping
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg For depth of flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish with a light coat of cooking spray or butter.
  2. Wash and slice your fresh pears, removing any cores. Leave the skins on for added texture and nutrition.
  3. In a bowl, toss the sliced pears with brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Making the Topping
  1. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well mixed.
  2. Add melted butter, stirring until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Baking
  1. Spread the pear mixture evenly in the baking dish, then top with the oat mixture, ensuring an even layer.
  2. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pears are bubbly.
  3. Allow the crisp to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Common mistakes to avoid include not sweetening the pears and overcooking the topping. Ensure the topping is golden brown; cover loosely with foil to prevent burning if necessary.
