Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
-
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges. Arrange the pear slices in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
-
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of flour and half of the cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the sliced pears.
-
In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup flour, the remaining cinnamon, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
-
Cut in 1/4 cup of butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in 1/4 cup of finely chopped nuts into the flour mixture until evenly distributed.
-
Spoon the crumbly topping evenly over the pears, covering them completely.
-
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
-
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to set slightly.
