Make dessert better with this recipe for a Pear Crumble

This pear crumble is everything that you could ask for and more in a dessert. It’s warm and inviting and bursting with flavor.

One of my favorite (that I often forget about) desserts is a crumble. There is something so warm and inviting about them. It doesn’t matter what fruit you use, they ALWAYS turn out amazing. I love, love, love a good peach crisp and have made (and devoured) an apple crisp, too. Now that we’re in prime pear season, I thought it would be fun to try my hand with a pear crumble (or is it a crisp?!).

I have to say that I was a little dubious about the pear at first. BUT HOLY SMOKES was it good! I definitely made some audible groaning sounds when I took the first bite. Funnily enough, so did The Big Kid and The Husband. 

The Little Kid wasn’t awake yet, so she didn’t get to weigh in.

Trust me when I say this dessert is good. As in, you’re going to want to eat the entire pan in one sitting good. I totally would have if my family didn’t get their spoons into the mix. (Damn them.)

So do yourself a favor this fall (and every other day in between) and stock up on pears. And as soon as they are ripe, make yourself a batch of this pear crumble. 

You’re welcome.
