Ingredients
  

Pear Filling
  • 3 pounds pears about 8 ripe pears peeled and sliced
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract adds a sweet aromatic flavor
  • ½ cup granulated sugar sweetens the pear filling
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour helps thicken the filling
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon adds warm spicy flavor
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt enhances the sweetness
Crumble Topping
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour forms the base of the crumble topping
  • ½ cup granulated sugar provides sweetness to the topping
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon matches the pear filling's spice
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt balances the sweetness
  • ½ cup salted butter softened creates a rich crumbly topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9-inch round deep dish pie dish or a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  3. Make the Pear Filling: Peel and slice the pears into even pieces and place them in a large bowl.
  4. Add the vanilla, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and sea salt to the pears and stir until evenly mixed.
  5. Transfer the pear mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Make the Crumble Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  7. Cut the softened butter into the dry ingredients using a fork, pastry cutter, or your hands until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
  8. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the pear filling in the dish.
  9. Bake the crumble in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the pear filling is bubbling.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
  11. Serve slightly warm, topped with vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or as desired.
