Ingredients

To serve (optional)

  • vanilla ice cream
  • sweetened greek yogurt (refer notes)

Instructions

  • Pre heat oven to 375° F and have a medium size baking pan ( choose any baking pan that will fit 4 pear halves in a single layer without having too much of empty space) 

Make Walnut Oat Crumble

  • Stir brown sugar, walnuts, oats, cinnamon and salt together in a medium bowl. Add  butter and mix with your fingertips , until combined. 

Prepare pears

  • Cut the pears in half and using a small ice cream scoop out the seeds along with some of the flesh (to make space for the stuffing). 

Stuff pears

  • Pour 5 tablespoons to 6 tablespoons water into the baking pan. Place pear halves, cut side up. Spoon walnut oat crumble into the middle cavity. 
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes (depending on the size, refer notes), until pears have softened. 
  • Remove from oven and let cool until warm. 

To serve

  • Remove pears onto a serving plate and spoon the sauce from the bottom of the pan (give a good stir before using) on top of the pears. 
    Top with vanilla ice cream for dessert or sweetened greek yogurt for breakfast. 

Notes

Sweetened greek yogurt - Stir some honey and plain greek yogurt together. Can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator until serving time. 
Pear – I used Barlett variety. Select ripe but firm fruits
Use sliced almonds or pecans instead of walnuts 
Make it nut free – use all oats 
Baking time - Depends on the size of pears 
Medium pears takes 35-40 minutes
Large pears takes about 40-45 minutes
