Ingredients

4 to 5 ripe Bartlett or Anjou pears
1/4 cup cranberries, fresh or dried
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup rolled oats, uncooked
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg and salt
1/2 cup or 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
Heavy whipping cream or ice cream, for serving

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Peel, core, and thickly slice the pears. Toss them with the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cranberries and turn them into a deep, buttered 2-quart baking dish. The fruit should be at least 2 1/2-inches deep in the pan; add more fruit, if necessary.

For the topping, in a bowl, stir together the flour, oats, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Drizzle in the melted butter tossing the ingredients with a fork to blend. Be careful not to over mix because you want a loose crumbly mixture, not a bound-together ball of topping. Sprinkle the topping over the pears.

Bake for 30 minutes, until pears are tender and topping is browned. Serve warm with heavy cream or ice cream.

Pretty good...........just use some other fruit.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Overall this was a quick,easy & good recipe, however I find there is very little flavor in pears. I would make this next time... with a stronger flavored fruit. I had raisins on hand, so I used them instead of cranberries. I melted the butter as well & the amounts were good & stayed crisp. Spoon some of this warm, over ice cream as we did, & it will please your comfort zone....would be impressive for guests also.Read more

Loved it, with adjustments
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is yummy, even though I reduced the butter by 1/2, and the sugar by a little. This recipe definitely doesn't need all... that butter! Will make again!Read more

Love it
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family loves this with vanilla ice cream or a little half/half. The topping is not as dry as you would expect - just cook... it longer or cut down on the butter. I sometimes double the topping because that is my favorite part. The fruit combo is awesome. If I am out of cranberries I use raisins.Read more

Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was pretty good, although I used too many cranberries and they were kind of sour. Besides that it was really tasty and... not soggy at all.Read more

not crispy
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I think the measurements of this recipe are off. Way too much butter, makes the "crust" soggy. It's supposed to be crumbly,... not like a cobbler. Also the butter should'nt be melted. It should be worked in cold. Very dissapointed.Read more
