Servings: persons

4 to 5 ripe Bartlett or Anjou pears
1/4 cup cranberries, fresh or dried
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup rolled oats, uncooked
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg and salt
1/2 cup or 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
Heavy whipping cream or ice cream, for serving

1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2
Peel, core, and thickly slice the pears.
3
Toss them with the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cranberries and turn them into a deep, buttered 2-quart baking dish.
4
The fruit should be at least 2 1/2-inches deep in the pan; add more fruit, if necessary.
5
For the topping, in a bowl, stir together the flour, oats, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
6
Drizzle in the melted butter tossing the ingredients with a fork to blend.
7
Be careful not to over mix because you want a loose crumbly mixture, not a bound-together ball of topping.
8
Sprinkle the topping over the pears.
9
Bake for 30 minutes, until pears are tender and topping is browned.
10
Serve warm with heavy cream or ice cream.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
