Pear Crisp Recipe

This recipe for a delicious Pear Crisp is the perfect dessert for using fresh pears. It’s easy to make too!

“Pears For Sale” read the sign posted in the front yard down the road. Instantly I knew I needed to bake something. After a quick search, a recipe for Pear Crisp was the first one I had all ingredients for on hand.

I wish we had a pear tree. My husband speaks of a pear tree in his grandmother’s yard that grew the best tasting pears. I guess I’ll have to continue to dream of the day we can walk out in our own yard one fine fall day and pick a pear. Until then, our local grocer, or the guy down the street, is as good as it gets. Maybe this fall will be the time to plant one?

Whether you have your own pear tree, or like me have to find them elsewhere, this Pear Crisp (or cobbler), is as yummy as it gets. Adapted from my SC homeboy, Tyler Florence, this crisp is full of warm fall flavors that will leave your home smelling nice and cozy. It’s the perfect way to usher in fall y’all.

How To Make This Pear Crisp Recipe

This pear crisp recipe is super easy to make and comes together in just an hour. Just like any cobbler, or crisp, the ingredients are basic. And the process couldn’t be easier; chop, mix, bake. Much, much too easy to pass up. And tasty too.

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and add butter to the baking dish that you are going to bake your crisp in. 
2. Peel the pears and cut them in half. Remove the core and the seeds, then cut the pears into smaller pieces lengthwise. 
3. Add the pears into a bowl and combine with the vanilla extract. Then add the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and mix again to coat the pears. 
4. Transfer the pears into the baking dish. In another bowl combine the butter and remaining brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, salt, and oatmeal. Using your hands mix everything well together and spread the mixture on top of the pears. 
5. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 35-45 minutes or until the pears are tender and the top is browned.
