Moooove on over apple crumble and make way for this super easy and incredibly delicious 5 ingredient pear crumble for two!

Super easy and incedibly delicious 5 ingrdient 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.

The best 5 ingredient pear crumble for two you will ever eat

That love of pears has continued to this day, and when my weekly Instacart groceries arrived, it contained beautiful bartlett pears. I love how I can alwaus get seasonal produce from Instacart, actually, let me rephrase that, I love everything I can order from their delivery!! Their grocery delivery service saves me oodles of times every week and they have everything available I would normally get on a grocery store run! For example, I ordered all of the ingredients for 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’!

    In lockdown Australia- neighbour brings FRESH old fashioned “ugly” fruit not destined for supermarkets and straight off the tree – had excess pears and have made this substituting brown sugar with golden syrup and using low cholesterol (nuttex buttery) margarine to mix with oats – easy – threw in a hand full of sultanas with pears – bloody beautiful as we say here in Oz

    My sister brought some groceries to my house and one of those giant cans of pears when all this isolation stuff started … Like GIANT … 6 pounds giant, I love pears but felt like some kind of dessert would be better than me just scarfing down cold juicy peara, so I looked for recipes and we don’t have many ingredients right now for the other types of crumbles .. but we do have these 5 ingredients and a pie plate !! So my hubby n I made … A pie we quadrupled the ingredients and it came out amazing… This is now my favorite recipe of alllll time. Thank You so much for sharing !!!

      Oh my goodness, your comment made my day! And holy guacamole, that’s a lot of pears! If you search pear on my site, I also have a pear and apple upside down loaf (could be made with just pears) that’s a favorite!

    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.

    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!

    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.

      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.

First, I ran out of coffee beans 😳😩😢
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then, as I was washing dishes late at night, my French press slipped through my hands and shattered 🙀😭😫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just kept repeating a German phrase my mom used to say “sherben bringen Glück” which means “shards bring luck” (it’s usually applied to like porcelain- which is why plates and mugs are thrown on the ground ahead of weddings... but my mom would apply it to glass/plates/whatever broke) 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So...I’m going to go ahead and make some sweet cream, bust out my old coffee machine until the new French press arrives <-because apparently now I’m someone who makes French press coffee every morning!
