Sweet, juicy pears get the perfect fall treatment in this Crumb Topped Pear Pie. A tender oat crust holds a lightly sweetened pear filling, while a buttery brown sugar crumb topping adds plenty of cinnamon-spiced crunch. It is a simple, rustic dessert that makes the most of fresh pears and is especially delicious served warm.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Make the crust by combining the oats, flour, salt, and granulated sugar in a bowl.
  3. Add the butter and work it into the dry ingredients with your fingers until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  4. Gradually add the milk, a little at a time, until a dough forms. Use only as much milk as needed. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
  5. Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Carefully fit it into a 9-inch pie plate.
  6. Bake the crust for 10 to 12 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool.
  7. While the crust cools, prepare the filling. Toss the sliced pears with the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and flour until evenly coated.
  8. Spoon the pear mixture into the cooled pie crust.
  9. For the topping, combine the brown sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon. Work the mixture with your fingers until coarse crumbs form.
  10. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the pears.
  11. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the crumb topping is golden brown.
  12. Let the pie cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Cook’s Note:

Choose pears that are ripe but still firm so they soften during baking without becoming mushy. If the crumb topping begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover the pie with aluminum foil for the remainder of the baking time. Let the pie rest before slicing so the pear filling has time to set.

This recipe uses granulated sugar to sweeten the pear filling and oat crust, while brown sugar adds sweetness, moisture, and a deeper caramel-like flavor to the crumb topping.
