Take a bite out of Fall with this spiced pear crisp! This easy dessert is made the old-fashioned way like Grandma used to make, and is perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and salted caramel sauce drizzled over the top!
Do you have a classic Fall dessert that you just LOVE? I have several, but one of them is definitely a classic fruit crisp!
Growing up, my Mom had two signature desserts that she made; one was her famous Carrot Cake, and the other was a mouthwatering apple crisp!
While an apple crisp recipe has been on the blog for awhile, and lately I have been asked about making a pear crisp… so this is that amazing recipe.
I’ve tweaked things so that you end up with a non-watery filling, and added citrus zest to really bring out all the other amazing flavors!
Ingredients:
Pear filling
- 8 ripe but firm pears peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 1 – 2 Tbsp lemon juice fresh is best
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Crisp topping
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats not instant
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
