Warm caramel pear crisp topped with a crisp oatmeal topping is perfect the cold late winter days.
Ingredients
Topping:
55g (~1/2 cup) oat flour* (I pulsed my oatmeal in the food processor until it was the consistency of flour)
40g (~1/2 cup) old fashioned oatmeal*
70g (~1/3 cup, tightly packed) light brown sugar
½g (ΒΌ teaspoon) ground cinnamon
55g (1/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Filling:
700g sliced ripe pears (about 4 large)
15g (~2 tablespoons) oat flour* (I pulsed my oatmeal in the food processor until it was the consistency of flour)
⅓ cup brown sugar caramel sauce (recipe below)
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
In a medium bowl, prepare topping; mix together oat flour, oatmeal and brown sugar
Add butter and use fingers to combine until mixture is slightly lumpy; set aside
Prepare filling; in 9-inch round shallow baking dish (like a pie plate), stir together pears, oat flour and caramel sauce
Distribute topping evenly over top of fruit
Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until filling is bubbling and topping is lightly browned, if you see that topping has started to get to brown early, lightly cover with tin foil for remainder of baking time
