Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Dice the ripe pear into small cubes, keeping the skin on for added texture and nutrients. Place the pieces in a small, oven-safe baking dish. The pear should be evenly distributed to ensure uniform cooking and flavor infusion.
2. 2.
   In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of brown sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger. Sprinkle this mixture over the pear, ensuring thorough coverage. The sugar will help the pear caramelize, while the ginger adds a warm, zesty kick.
3. 3.
   In another bowl, add 1/4 cup of rolled oats. Cut 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the oats. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend them until the mixture feels like coarse crumbs. This will create the classic crumble topping.
4. 4.
   Evenly distribute the oat mixture over the sugared pear pieces. Press lightly to form a cohesive topping without compacting it too much, allowing pockets for steam to escape. This ensures a crisp finish while keeping the pears tender.
5. 5.
   Place the baking dish in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Bake until the top is golden brown and the pear is bubbling at the edges. If the topping begins to brown too quickly, reduce the heat slightly or cover with foil. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
