This pear crisp is so simple to make and so tasty that it will knock your socks off!

This pear crisp is so simple to make and so tasty that it will knock your socks off!

A few weeks ago we took a trip over the mountains to my in-laws house.  They live in a small little town and every time we go there I just feel so relaxed.  One of their friends owns an apple and pear orchard and brought my mother-in-law a bag full of fresh red anjou pears.  Yes of course I’ll take some of those off your hands, why thank you!  But what to do with them?  While we were there that weekend a different friend of their’s made an apple crisp that was to die for.  So I thought why not try a pear crisp!  I’ve never had one but it sounded amazing.

And it is.  Amazing.

These pears were absolutely perfect. The sweetness you get from organically grown fruit is just out of this world.

And the filling. Oh. My. Word. I seriously just wanted to eat it with a spoon! (I may have stolen a few bites. #pregnancyproblems)  Anything that’s good enough to eat with a spoon before it even goes in the oven already has my seal of approval.

The perfect amount of sugar makes the filling not too sweet and really brings out the pear flavors.

Even the crumble topping I could eat by itself it’s so delish!  I used a stoneware baking dish and the presentation was just beautiful.

Prep Time 15 mins
Cook Time 40 mins
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

For the filling

  • 4 large whole pears peeled and diced
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
RELATED  Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins, Muffin #4

For the topping

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon heaping cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup pecans finely chopped (I used the food processor to get them very fine)
  • 1/2 cup butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, combine diced pears, sugar and salt in bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix flour, sugars, cinnamon and pecans.
  • Gradually add melted butter and mix until all the ingredients are incorporated and the big lumps are gone.
  • Pour pear mixture into bottom of a greased 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish.
  • Add crumb topping and spread evenly over the pears.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, then move to the top rack for 5-10 more minutes or until topping is golden brown.

Notes

Most pears are about the same consistency, but try to choose pears that are more firm. The sugar softens them up a bit and you don't want soggy pears.
Either pan size will work for this recipe, but if you want the crisp to be a bit thicker I recommend an 8x8 pan.

It came out of the oven with the edges bubbling a little bit. And it smells divine. Our house could smell like a crisp all day and I wouldn’t be mad. Serve it warm in some cute ramekins with a little vanilla ice cream. Yum!

This delicious pear crisp will have you family and guests begging for seconds! Click To Tweet

    Oh my gosh how exciting you’re finding out about Baby #2! That is so fun! Do you have any names picked out yet?

    And giiiirl that pear crisp sounds soooo yummy. So question for you. My mother in law is hosting thanksgiving and I’ve been searching for something to bring. Do you think this would be worthy to bring??

    Hope you have a great week!

    Ohhh, I’ve never had pear crisp, but it looks delish! My favorite is rhubarb crisp – so of course I can’t get it in Texas. Growing up we’d pick it by Lake Superior over Memorial Day and my mom would make huge batches of it… I think I like it because it’s not too sweet! Anyway… Now that’s what I want for breakfast.

    Skiing is something I would love to get into! There’s some great skiing over in New Mexico. I’ve only been once – I wish it wasn’t so expensive!

    Yum! I’ve never tried pecans in my topping before, but I need to now. And finding out your baby’s gender… Yay! I always loved finding out whether baby was a boy or a girl, so I could start shopping and picking out names.

    This crisp looks amazing! I love pears, definitely pinning it!

    Also I’m so excited to find out what you’re having!!! :):):)

  6. Colleen says: November 10, 2015 at 8:44 am

    This looks so AMAZING! I could absolutely have a giant bowl of this right now with a hot cup of coffee 🙂 I’m so excited for you to find out the gender!!!!

  7. Kelli {A Deeper Joy} says: November 10, 2015 at 9:03 am

    Oh my goodness that sounds delicious!!! Yayyy for your appointment today! I can’t wait to find out the gender of your baby, Tiffany!! And I’m so glad y’all got a little date night 🙂

    This looks so good! I love when my desserts bubble around the edges, haha! I’ve never had pear crisp, but now I think I’ll have to! Good luck at your appointment!!

  9. Caroline @ In Due Time says: November 10, 2015 at 4:14 pm

    Well that sounds delish! I wonder if I could do it with almond meal, etc!!! I haven’t had a pear in who knows how long 🙂

  10. Marina @ Parental Journey says: November 11, 2015 at 12:30 am

    I don’t really like pears, but I have to admit that this looks amazing!

      HAHA! Thanks Lindsey! I hope you enjoy it!

  13. Sara | mumturnedmom says: November 12, 2015 at 11:58 am

    Oh, that does sound good, I haven’t made a crumble, or rather a crisp (we call this a crumble in the UK!), for ages! Apple or rhubarb is my favourite, must try pear.

  14. Jennifer | The Deliberate Mom says: November 12, 2015 at 3:58 pm

    Oh my goodness, this looks absolutely delightful Tiffany!

    I love pears – I imagine this would be a delectable treat!

    Thanks for sharing.
    xoxo

    This recipe is for what size pan?

    • Tiffany says: September 14, 2016 at 8:40 pm

      You could use an 8×8 or 9×9 pan Cynthia. Either would work. 🙂

  16. Rebecca Fellows says: September 30, 2016 at 2:36 pm

    I made this last week from pears we picked from our tree and it was fantastic! My hubby and son have asked me to make it again this weekend. 🙂 Thanks for the amazing recipe!

  17. Cynthia Cleere says: October 17, 2016 at 6:44 pm
