Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, toss 4 medium peeled and sliced pears with 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tsp vanilla extract until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the pears in an even layer on a rimmed sheet pan.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  4. Step 4: Add 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter cubes to the oat mixture and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1/3 cup sliced almonds, then evenly sprinkle this topping over the pears on the sheet pan.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the pears are tender and the topping is golden and crisp, with toasted almond edges.
  7. Step 7: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with optional vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
