- 6 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced pears, granulated sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the pears evenly.
- Pour the pear mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and salt for the crumble topping.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender, your fingertips, or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the chopped nuts, if using.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pear mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender and bubbly.
- Let the crumble cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- You can adjust the amount of cardamom to your preference.
