There is something so comforting about a warm fruit crisp on a chilly evening. Pears are often overlooked, but they turn soft and sweet when baked, making them the perfect base for this easy autumn treat.

I love this recipe because it is simple to put together with basic pantry staples. If you want to keep this recipe vegan or gluten free, just use your favorite butter substitute and make sure your oats are certified gluten free.

Ingredients

5 ripe pears, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon salt

7Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a medium baking dish.
2
Toss the sliced pears with the lemon juice, half of the brown sugar, and half of the cinnamon in a large bowl. Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the oats, chopped walnuts, flour, the remaining brown sugar, the remaining cinnamon, and the salt.
4
Cut the butter into the dry oat mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it looks like coarse crumbs.
5
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pears.
6
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
7
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Tips

Serve this crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, though the topping will lose some of its crunch.
