Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place peeled, sliced pears in a large bowl. Add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt; toss to coat.

Step 3

Transfer pears to the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, use a fork (or your fingers) to mix together butter, flour, oats, white sugar, brown sugar, pecans, and salt until completely combined. The mixture will be lumpy, which is fine.

Step 5

Spread topping evenly over the pears.

Step 6

Sprinkle with more cinnamon, if desired.

Step 7

Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top becomes golden brown and crispy and the pears are soft. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Top with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce!
