Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 4 medium Pears Fresh fruit base offering natural sweetness; substitute with apples or peaches for variety.
  • 0.25 cup Brown Sugar Sweetens the mixture and enhances caramelization; coconut sugar works as a lower glycemic alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon An aromatic spice that infuses warmth into the dish.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Oats Provides a crunchy topping that contrasts beautifully with soft fruit; opt for gluten-free oats if needed.
  • 0.25 cup Butter Adds richness and moistness; replace with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 0.5 cup Almond Flour Used for gluten-free variants; acts as a substitute for all-purpose flour.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg Adds depth to the oatmeal topping, but can be used sparingly as per preference.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash and slice 4 medium ripe pears into thin slices. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the sliced pears with 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of almond flour, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Melt 1/4 cup of butter and mix it into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Spread the oat topping evenly over the caramelized pears in the skillet.
  4. Lower the heat and cover the skillet with a lid, cooking for 5-7 minutes on medium heat.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the oat topping is golden brown.
  6. Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
