Pear Crumble

Directions

1. 1
   Core and chop pears into bite sized pieces. (You can peel if you like, but I prefer the rustic aspect of leaving the peel on)
2. 2
   Pour syrup and juice over pears and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with flour and ginger. Toss again. Place pears in two 8 or 9 inch round, 3-4 inch deep casseroles, or equivalent.
3. 3
   Preheat oven to 350
4. 4
   In a medium bowl combine oats, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Mix well.
5. 5
   Add pear butter to dry ingredients and combine (your hands work best). Mix until the topping is evenly moist but try not to over-mix.
6. 6
   Sprinkle the topping evenly over the pears.
7. 7
   Bake until the pears are softened and topping is golden, about 45 - 50 minutes. If the topping beings to brown too early cover with foil.
8. 8
   Let rest at least 10 minutes before serving. I love it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
