  4. Step 4: Add 6 tbsp cold diced unsalted butter to the oat mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the pears.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the pears are bubbling.
