45min serves 6
Ingredients
1 qt canned pears, drained and diced
1 12 oz bag of butterscotch chips (you can substitute 3 cups of Oregon raspberries, blackberries or cranberries - fresh or frozen)
Cook pears, butterscotch chips and cornstarch over medium heat until thick and bubbly, stirring often. Let cool slightly.
Cream the butter and brown sugar. Stir in the flour, soda, salt and oats. Mix until well combined.
Grease a 9 x 13 pan and put half of the crumble mixture into the pan. Press well. Pour in the pear mixture and then cover with remaining crumble oat mixture. Pat lightly.
Bake for 25 minutes. Cool and cut into squares. The flavor fully develops 1-2 days after baking. A scoop of Tillamook Vanilla Ice Cream (or many other flavors) and a drizzle of caramel or fruit syrup makes this a wonderful dessert!
