Pear crumble is an old-fashioned, timeless recipe with some of the coziest flavors of all time. The brown sugar crumble layer is infused with lots of cinnamon, and the juicy pears cook down into a saucy mixture underneath. Pure heaven with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream!
Prep Time:10 minutesmins
Ingredients
For the Fruit Filling
6-8pearsapproximately 3 pounds; cubed in large chunks
In a 9x13 baking dish, toss chopped pears with the filling ingredients.
6-8 pears, 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tbsp flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp kosher salt
In a separate medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the crumble. Stir to combine, then add the vanilla extract and cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the cold butter into the topping. The mixture should look mostly sandy with some chunks, and should hold together when squeezed.
1 1/2 cup flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 3/4 cup unsalted butter, 2 tsp cinnamon
Spread the topping evenly over the prepared pears.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the pear filling starts bubbling up on the edges. It should be visibly thickened.
Remove from oven and cool 10-15 minutes to let the filling thicken. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
