PEAR CRUMBLE

ORIGINALLY a pear crumble pie, I shortened this to a crumble when I often was too short of time to make a pie crust. I've also found canned pears work as well as fresh, so that makes it even easier to prepare. -Kezia Sullivan, Sackets Harbor, New York

  • You can use any type of sugar in this recipe. Brown sugar, white sugar, or coconut sugar will all work well.
  • If you don't have any oats, you can use crushed graham crackers or chopped nuts instead.
