Ingredients
- 4 firm ripe pears, peeled and sliced to ¼-inch thickness
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
Streusel Topping
- ½ cup (62.5 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (45 g) quick oats
- ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted cold butter, diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. (This recipe would also work in an 8x8-inch baking dish.)
- In a large bowl, toss pear slices with lemon juice.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, cinnamon, and ginger. Sprinkle over pears and toss to coat well.
- Scoop the pear filling into the prepared baking dish.
Streusel Topping
- In a medium bowl, add flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until combined.
- Add the cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your hands or a fork, mix the butter into the flour mixture until the butter pieces are pea-sized or smaller. Sprinkle evenly over the pear mixture.
- Bake 50-55 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm.
