Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe pears, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
- Toss sliced pears with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice in a bowl. Spread evenly in the prepared dish.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, remaining sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly and stir in milk until just combined.
- Pour the batter over the pears; it doesn’t need to cover them completely.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly around the edges. Let cool slightly before serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
