2 tbsp cornstarch (30 mL)
1 tsp vanilla (5 mL)
1 tsp ground cinnamon (5 mL)
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (1 mL)

tip

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large bowl, toss together pears, grapes, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Transfer pears and grape mixture to a 9x9 baking dish.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together butter, flour, oats, granulated sugar and brown sugar until completely combined. The mixture will be lumpy and should look like a crumb topping. Spread topping evenly over the pear and grape mixture.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top becomes golden brown and the pears are soft. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  4. Optional: serve with vanilla ice cream!
