- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Prep the pears: Start by washing, peeling, and slicing your ripe pears into thin wedges.
- Cook the pears: Place the sliced pears in a large skillet over medium heat. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, stirring to combine. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the pears soften and release their juices.
- Make the topping: In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, and melted butter. Mix until the oats are thoroughly coated. Consider adding nuts and salt if using.
- Assemble the crisp: Once the pears are tender and syrupy, sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over them in the skillet.
- Cook the crisp: Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and allow it to cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve and enjoy: Let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm, topped with your favorite garnish!
