This is the first recipe I turn to after my mother shares juicy pears from her orchard. The down-home flavor of the not-too-sweet dessert is a welcomed alternative to apple crisp. Its crumbly topping and hint to caramel keep friends asking for more. —Karen Ann Bland Gove, Kansas

6 Servings
Prep: 15 min. Bake: 30 min.

Ingredients

1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted
20 caramels
1 tablespoon milk
3 medium pears, peeled and sliced
Whipped topping and additional cinnamon, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir in butter (mixture will be crumbly); set aside 1 cup. Press the remaining mixture into an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish.
In a small saucepan over low heat, cook and stir caramels and milk until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat. Arrange pears over crust; spoon caramel mixture over pears. Sprinkle with the reserved crumb mixture.
Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until the pears are tender and top is golden brown. Serve warm. Garnish with whipped topping and cinnamon if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
