Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Select a small, oven-safe dish that will snugly fit the sliced pear. This will ensure even heat distribution during baking and a perfectly cooked dessert.
2. 2.
   Combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined. Add the softened butter and use a fork to blend everything together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This will create a delightful, crumbly topping for your crisp.
3. 3.
   Layer the pear slices in the baking dish, overlapping slightly if necessary. Ensure the pear slices are evenly distributed to promote even cooking. If needed, rearrange until they form an even layer in the bottom of the dish.
4. 4.
   Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the pear slices, ensuring every piece of fruit is lightly covered. This will help the topping crisp up beautifully while keeping the fruit underneath tender.
5. 5.
   Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pear is tender when pierced with a fork. If the topping is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil and continue baking until the pear is done.
6. 6.
   Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. The crisp will firm up as it cools, making it easier to serve. Consider enjoying it with a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream for an extra treat.
