Easy Pear Crumble Recipe

This easy pear crumble recipe has a tasty topping of golden oats and cinnamon – the perfect Winter Comfort dessert, especially when served with an indulgent scoop of vanilla ice cream or swirl of whipped cream.

Best of all the recipe has only 5 simple ingredients – all of which you probably have in your kitchen right now to be able to make the easy dessert.

My whole family adore fruit crisps that have an oaty topping, which means that you don’t need to include all purpose flour so the greatdessert is naturally gluten free. (As long as the oats you include are gluten free.)

Ingredients For Pear Crumble With Oats

These are the 6 ingredients you’ll need to make the comfort dessert:

Pears – I found the whole pack of juicy pears used in the recipe reduced to 25 cents because they were past their best and a bit soft. The ripe pearsturned out perfectly when baked into the fall dessert.

I’d suggest ideally including fresh pears in the pear filling, but you can feel free to used canned pears if you’re craving the comforting dessert and pears aren’t in season and easily found in grocery storesjust yet.

Butter – I’ve suggested unsalted butter in the crisp recipe, but you can feel free to use salted butter or a dairy free butter alternative if you’d like the buttery crumble to be dairy free or vegan friendly.

You can use cold butter straight from the fridge, you don’t need to let it stand at room temperature before using, as is often the case when preparing a crumble mixture.

Oats – ideally use rolled oats in the dessert, although I have also successfully made it with finer porridge oats too.

If you want thedelicious recipe to be completely gluten free then be sure to use gluten free oats.

Ground Cinnamon – my warm spice of choice as a great addition to infuse the delicious pear dessert with fall flavors.

You can add in more or less of the suggested half teaspoon cinnamon, depending on how strong flavored you’d like delicious pear crisp to be.

Coconut Sugar -you can feel free to swap the coconut sugar for brown sugar, raw sugar, white sugar or any sugar or sweeteners you like, and use more or less sugar than is suggested in the easy recipe,depending on your personal preference for how sweet you like your sweet treats as well as the sweetness of your fruit.

Pure Maple Syrup – for a second element of sweet indulgence, I like to mix maple syrup through the crumble batter.

FAQs

What is the secret to crunchy crumble? ›

However, we also love adding porridge oats for extra chewiness, as in these recipes for very-berry oat crumble and American-style apple crisp. Chopped and toasted nuts such as pecans, almonds or hazelnuts also make a lovely addition to a traditional crumble, for taste as well as an extra-crunchy texture.

How do you use frozen pears? ›

They're super versatile: Pair them with cheese, like for these Pear and Blue Cheese Crostini, turn them into amazing desserts, like Ree's Pear Crisp, or simply eat them out of hand! If you want to freeze pears simply for smoothies or sauces, go ahead and just cut up the pears and freeze them.

Should butter be cold for crumble? ›

Use cold, cubed butter.

Making the crumble with room temperature or melted butter will cause the topping to spread as it bakes, rather than creating a landscape of craggy, crunchy sweet pieces. Using cold butter will help all the crumble ingredients bind together before baking and then saturate them evenly in the oven.

What does baking powder do in a crumble? ›

First, adding a teaspoon of baking powder to the flour mixture makes the crumble topping more tender. Second, using cold butter and working it into the flour mixture makes for a pastry-like topping reminiscent of pie crust. Pro tip: Crumble topping freezes incredibly well and can be kept on hand for crumble anytime.

Can I freeze raw pears? ›

If planning to use pears uncooked, freeze using juice or water method. Freezing pears using dry packing or in sugar is the best method for pies or other cooked dishes. If planning to use pears in a sweetened jam, jelly, fruit butter, or sauce, try freezing using the juice or water method, but choose unsweetened juice.

How do you keep pears from turning brown when frozen? ›

Prepare pears for freezing by washing fruit, peeling, and coring. Prevent cut pears from browning by soaking in one quart of water with either one-half tablespoon salt, three-quarter teaspoon ascorbic acid (often sold as Fruit Fresh), or 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Drain fruit before preparing further for freezing.

Do pears get mushy when frozen? ›

Pears don't freeze well directly as they go mushy brown on thawing. Bringing slowly to simmering is the answer - simply boiling them will give you a brown pulp.

What does cornstarch do in a crumble? ›

Then, make sure to bake the crumble long enough so that the fruit filling comes to a profuse simmer at the edges of the pan. This shows that the cornstarch has been activated enough to thicken the juices, turning them supple and silky.

What is the difference between a crumble and a crisp and a cobbler? ›

Cobbler: A fruit dessert made with a top crust of pie dough or biscuit dough but no bottom crust. Crisp/crumble: In Alberta, the terms are mostly interchangeable. Both refer to fruit desserts similar to cobbler but made with a brown sugar streusel topping sometimes containing old-fashioned rolled oats.

What is the top of crumble made from? ›

Classic crumble

Sometimes simplicity is best and a basic crumble topping of sugar, flour and butter is all you need for the perfect pudding. In Raymond Blanc's popular apple & blackberry crumble, the topping is pre-baked so it retains a light, crumbly texture and doesn't stick together.

What's the difference between a crumble and a cherry crisp? ›

Crisps are essentially crumbles with the addition of oats and optional nuts, which causes the topping to “crisp” in the oven. Due to the higher ratio of oats to flour, crisps are often enjoyed for breakfast and are just as tasty eaten cold from the fridge as they are warmed up in the oven.
