Ingredients
- 4 firm pears
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups cranberries
- cup sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup chilled butter
- 1/4 cup light-brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 pinch salt
- Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, toss pears with lemon juice. Add cranberries and 1/3 cup sugar; toss well.
- Step 2Transfer to six 8-ounce ramekins (or a 3-quart baking dish). Sprinkle with topping (see below); bake until fruit is tender and topping is golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
