Pears deserve the same cozy treatment as apples, but they need less sugar and a little more structure. Slightly firm pears soften in the oven while keeping distinct slices under the crisp oat topping.
Caramel is a finishing accent rather than the filling. A light drizzle after baking keeps the fruit bright and lets each person decide how rich to make the bowl.
The method behind the meal
Why this recipe works
- •Choose pears that yield only slightly near the stem.
- •Let the crumble rest 15 minutes so the juices thicken.
