- Crumble Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 sticks softened unsalted butter
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, then work in butter with your hands. Chill.
- Pear Filling:
- 1 1/2 lbs pears, peeled, cored and cut in 1-inch chunks
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- splash of brandy (optional)
Combine pears, butter, sugar, cinnamon and brandy in a saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened. Pour fruit mixture into a baking dish and generously sprinkle with crumble topping. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes, or until golden and bubbling. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if you wish.
