• Heat the oven to 375 and spray an 8x9" baking dish with nonstick spray.

For the Pears

• Place the melted butter in a large bowl, and whisk in the flour, lemon juice, heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth.
  4 Tablespoons Butter, 4 Tablespoons Flour, 1 Squeeze Lemon Juice, 4 Tablespoons Heavy Cream, 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
• Add the sugars and seasonings and whisk again until smooth.
  1/4 Cup Brown Sugar, 1 Tablespoon White Sugar, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg, Dash of Salt
• Add the pears and ginger (optional) and gently fold to coat entirely.
  5 Pears
• Spread the pears in the bottom of a baking dish and set aside.

For the Topping

• In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, cinnamon and oatmeal.
  1 Cup Flour, 1 1/2 Cups Old Fashioned Oatmeal, 1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, Dash Salt
• Stir everything together.
• Add the butter cubes and using a pastry cutter begin to cut in the butter. As the butter begins to be incorporated into the mixture, switch to using your hands and squeeze and mix everything together until it is like a very thick dough and no flour remains. We like clumps so I squeeze together little clots of dough to sprinkle over the top.
  3/4 Cup Unsalted Butter
• Top the pears with the mixture and bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden in color.
• Cool for 5-10 minutes and serve with vanilla ice cream.
