Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup uncooked regular oats
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter
  • 3 medium red Anjou pears, diced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°. Coat 4 ramekins (6 ounces) with cooking spray.

Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl and cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Combine pear and juice; toss well. Divide pears among the 4 ramekins and sprinkle the oat mixture over the pear mixture.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until bubbly.

Makes 4 servings.

Substitutions:

Before I add the butter to the topping mixture, I usually set aside a tablespoon or so and mix it in with the pears and lemon juice. It makes the pear filling a little thicker. Also, this taste better if the pears are slightly under ripe. Ripe or over ripe pears tend to get mushy.
