Equipment

  • 1 9-inch cast iron pie pan, or other pan of choice

Ingredients

Crumble ingredients

  • 1 cup regular oats
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar if you want to lower the sugar, you can easily reduce this to ¼ cup.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 4 tablespoons melted or softened vegan butter

Pear filling

  • 3-4 pears, peeled, cored, and sliced. This was about 4 cups of pears. I cut my pears in 8 pieces, if you want an idea of sizes on the pears.
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions

  • Make sure to read the instructions all the way through before starting.
  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Start by mixing your crumble in a small bowl. To do this add all ingredients in, and mix well. Set this bowl aside.
  • In another bowl, add the pears, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Mix with a rubber spatula. Be careful not to break up your pears. Pour the pears into your cast iron skillet or other 8 inch pan.
  • Top with the crumble topping. Place in the oven and bake until the topping is a golden brown and the pears are tender. Mine took about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and it is ready to serve! You can enjoy it warm, cooled, or even cold. It is hard to go wrong with this crumble!
  • Now, sit back and enjoy. You deserve it.

Notes

  • One of the main things, before you get started, is to make sure the pears are not completely ripe yet. You don't want them soft, otherwise, they will get so mushy when you are baking them. So, make sure they are a little firm.
  • Also, when you are mixing the pear mixture, I like to use a rubber spatula. This is more gentle than a spoon and won't break up the pears when you are mixing.
  • Next, do not overbake. You want the pears to be tender, but not mushy.
  • If you do not like whole wheat flour or don't have any on hand, you can always use white flour instead. It is a simple swap. Use the same amount called for in the recipe.
  • I used this Camp Chef Pie Pan for mine, but you can use any other 9-inch or 8-inch pan you like.
