Best Pear Crisp with Oats

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375° F. Grease a 8-inch x 8-inch square baking pan (or 2-quart baking dish) and set aside.

Step 2

For the crisp topping, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and chopped pecans in a bowl. Add cold butter pieces and using a pastry cutter (or two forks) incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly and resembles coarse, wet sand. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine sliced pear, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Toss to coat pears and transfer to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle crisp topping evenly over pears in the baking dish.

Step 4

Bake crisp for 35 to 40 minutes or until the crisp topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow crisp to cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream.
