Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine 4 medium peeled and sliced pears with 1/2 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup Moscato d’Asti, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg. Toss gently until pears are coated and fragrant.
2. Step 2: Transfer the pear mixture evenly to a 9-inch baking dish. In another bowl, mix 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in 5 tbsp cold diced unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Step 3: Sprinkle the oat crumble evenly over the pears. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the pears are bubbling and tender. Let cool slightly before serving.
