This pear crisp is the perfect fall dessert - incredibly quick and easy, not too sweet, and full of juicy, ripe pears.

Ingredients
For the Topping:
- ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For the Filling:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- Pinch of salt
- 3 pounds ripe pears Bartlett or Bosc, peeled, halved, cored, each half quartered lengthwise, and each quarter cut in half crosswise
Instructions
- Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Make the Topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch and salt. Add the pears and gently stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer the pear mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the filling. Transfer the dish to the prepared foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until the fruit is bubbling around the edges and the topping is a deep golden brown, about 30 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through baking. Transfer the baking dish to a wire rack and let cool until warm, about 15 minutes.
Notes
- Note: The original recipe called for chopped nuts in the crisp topping, but I substituted oats. Feel free to use nuts, if you'd like instead of oats - pecans or walnuts would be great choices!
