Ingredients

3 Pears
¼ cup Brown Sugar
¼ cup Whole Wheat Flour
¼ cup Rolled Oats
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 dash Salt
¼ cup Butter Cut into pieces

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375° Fahrenheit, and spray a 13×9 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Wash and dry the pears, then slice vertically down the center of each pear.
Use a melon baller or a spoon to spoon out the seeds and create a small section to fill with the topping. I also like to cut off a small section in the back of each pear to help them lay flat in the baking dish.
Place the pears in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and salt.
Toss the pieces of butter in with the ingredients and use a pastry blender, two knives, your fingers, or anything else to cut the butter in until the mixture is crumbly.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the pears in the prepared baking dish.
Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until pears are fork tender.
Serve with ice cream on top and/or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness!
