This pear crumble with canned pears has a cinnamon filling and buttery oat pecan topping. Make an pantry dessert with minimal prep time!
Ingredients
Pear Filling
- 46 oz canned sliced pears in heavy syrup (drained)
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
Crumble Topping
- ¾ cup salted butter (melted; 1.5 sticks)
- 1 ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup crushed pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 7x11" or 2-quart baking dish.
- In your baking dish, mix together the drained pears, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, oats, flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and optional pecans. Stir until crumbly, like wet sand.
- Scatter the topping over the apple filling without packing it down.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the filling bubbles around the edges and the topping is golden.
- Cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Drain the canned pears well before adding them to the baking dish; do not add the extra syrup.
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best crumble texture.
- Cover loosely with foil if browning too fast.
- Keep the crumble topping loose instead of pressing it down.
- Reheat in a 300°F oven for the crispiest topping.
- Refrigerate leftovers 3–4 days; freezing isn't recommended.
