Moooove on over apple crumble and make way for this super easy and incredibly delicious 5 ingredient pear crumble for two!
The story goes, when I was a baby I would not eat apples. My mom said she tried everything, but I just detested apples and would spit them out (very dramatic, I know lol), so she tried feeding me other other fruits like pears, cherries, etc. Basically anything that wasn’t an apple. And guess what? She said I loved other fruits, especially pears.
That love of pears has continued to this day, and when my weekly Door to Door Organics produce box arrived, it contained beautiful bartlett pears. I love how Door to Door Organics always sends seasonal produce, actually, let me rephrase that, I love everything Door to Door Organics sends!! Their grocery delivery service saves me oodles of times every week and they have they truly source the best ingredients and food, and they’re always inspiring me to try new things in the kitchen. For example, these balsamic mushrooms over arugula and cheesy polenta – so good, and I had never cooked with some of those varieties of mushrooms before. And these peanut butter banana chocolate chip granola bars, I make them all the time when I have ripe bananas to use – they’re soft and chewy deliciousness. Also, I cannot wait to make these quick pickled vegetables this summer.
Because my weekly deliveries bring me joy, and thinking of my amazing mother brings me joy, I knew I wanted to make something super special with the pears, a recipe to honor her with.
And these pear crumbles, they’re super special.
They’re super easy to make, the pears (which are in season now) have a wonderful sweetness and get soft when baked, and the crunchy topping ties the dessert together. Make these pear crumbles for you and your mother for this Mother’s day, and here’s to wishing all the special moms out there a lovely day!
This recipe can be easily scaled up or down. These pear crumbles are also perfect if you’re wanting a quick dessert for you and a loved one any night of the week (I made them this week for my hubby and I – I chalked it up to ‘recipe testing’!

Making these for breakfast (both for me, hehehe)! Yum! 🙂
Sweetphi says
These would be perfect for breakfast, and also perfect for one serving instead of two lol 😉 Hope you love it as much as I do!
Sarah says
Yess! I totally agree that pears need to happen more often in crumble form. Your mommy is a lucky lady. 🙂
Sweetphi says
Pears totally make for the best crumbles, don’t they? The fruit gets nice and soft unlike some other fruits (ahem apples) that take forever to bake lol.
lucie says
I love pears and apples..my nan used to bake crumble every Sunday for us when I was a child but would only eat the top of the crumble….haha! I love that you baked these in little ramekins for individuals servings too – so cute!
Sweetphi says
That’s so sweet that your gran used to bake crumbles every Sunday – I totally want to start a tradition like that – and because these are crumbles for two that is totally doable 🙂

Hi Phi, I love pears too, this crumble looks amazing.
Sweetphi says
Thank you so much Cheri – aren’t pears amazing? They’re one of my fave fruits, that’s for sure!
Ashley@CookNourishBliss says
Mmmm I love pears and I feel like I sort of forget about them all the time for apples! For shame! This crumble sounds delicious!
Sweetphi says
Pears are so underrated but make the absolutely crumbles, you’d love them!
Wendy says
Very tasty. I only had 1 pear, but it filled my pyrex bowl with about 2/3 of the pear. (I ate the rest of the pear raw) I used 1/3 of the crumble ingredients to top my pear, since it was easy to calculate portions that way. Next time I’ll use 1/2. Topped it with whipped cream to add some more sweetness. I will make this again.
Sweetphi says
So happy to hear you liked this recipe, thank you for the feedback and stopping by my blog. Also – love that you topped it with whipped cream!
Angela says
Needed to use up a couple of ripe pears. Came across this recipe while searching. I doubled the topping on the pears. They came out really good. I never really cared for pears much, until now. This recipe is already in my permanent recipe book. Thanks, a lot!
Sweetphi says
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for this wonderful feedback, I’m so glad you loved it!!!

Most relatives on my dad’s side of the family are pear farmers, so one weekend when I visited my aunt and uncle in college, she sent a whole pan of pear crisp back with me so I could eat it for breakfasts before class! Sharing this story because her recipe uses pumpkin pie spice, which is a fun variation.
Sweetphi says
Thank you for sharing, that is a super fun variation – love that she gave you a whole pan of pear crisp, makes me want some asap!
Paige says
I used golden syrup oats as all the ones I had was my sons breakfast ones haha. It was great tho! Added sweetness too it!
Sweetphi says
Sounds amazing, love the modifications you did to make this work 🙂
