Prep: 15 min · Cook: 40 min · Yield: 6 · Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 6 medium pears
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking dish. (about 5 min) — 375°F
2. Peel, core, and slice the pears into 1/4-inch wedges. Toss them in a large bowl with the cinnamon and lemon juice, then spread them evenly in the baking dish. (about 10 min)
3. Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter with your fingers or a pastry cutter until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the pears. (about 5 min)
4. Bake until the topping is golden and the pear juices are bubbling around the edges, about 35 to 40 minutes. (about 40 min) — 375°F
5. Cool for 10 minutes before serving so the filling can thicken. Serve warm. (about 10 min)
