The first night it really didn't appeal to me—tasted too sweet and I couldn't differentiate the flavors. The second and third nights, after being slightly reheated, it tasted much better. The crumble was crunchy, and the light taste of the pears was nicely balanced by the cranberries.

This dessert is absolutely fantastic. The rich crumble topping melts in your mouth while the burst of flavor from the pears and cranberries puts a satisfied smile on your face. Everyone will be asking for seconds!??This was an easy, homey, satisfying dessert that can be done partially ahead of time. The steps were very simple, and seeing the pinch of salt added to the topping made me trust the author, as I firmly believe in judicious additions of salt to sweet dishes. Finally, my guests really enjoyed the combination of mild pears and intense cranberries (a nice change from apples), especially with vanilla ice cream. [Courtney Nunes] Amazing!!

Hamersley's Bistro is one of my all-time favorite restaurants in Boston because of the wonderful homey food. This dish is exactly the type of dessert that is on their menu which I have a hard time resisting! The beauty of this recipe is that it tastes wonderful but it is very simple to prepare. It is not time consuming and does not call for ingredients which are hard to find. I will prepare this dish many times. Everyone enjoyed this dessert! [Diane Schwartz] This was a winner!

And it was. This treat can easily be put together in minutes on a busy work night. The not overly sweet crumble is a do-ahead dish. (I had mine in the fridge two days waiting for the pears to ripen.) And the filling couldn't be simpler. Just toss it all together and bake. Since the recipe didn't specify, I used six large pears, half Bartlett, half Anjou. Luscious, sweet pear juices bubbled up through the buttery topping. Fragrant with nutmeg and cinnamon, it needed no embellishment, but we indulged in a little scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside anyway. Truly a satisfying bistro finale.

The filling ingredients blended perfectly allowing each taste to still be noticed. The tart cranberries and sweet pears paired beautifully. A hint of cinnamon and nutmeg rounded out their flavors. The topping filled the kitchen with a butter-and-brown-sugar aroma while baking and added just the right amount of crunch to the tenderness of the fruit. Served with freshly whipped cream, this crumble was a warm comfort-food treat! [Bonnie Depew] This dessert would make a perfect ending to any meal, especially on a cold winter’s night.

The tender cinnamon and nutmeg tinged pears coupled with the chewy cranberries become even more irresistible with the sweet blanket of buttery oat topping. This is a dish that piques and satisfies all the senses, from the mouth-watering appearance as the juices bubbling up through the crumble topping, to the luscious texture that melts in your mouth with every bite. Dollop with sour cream for an even more surreal dessert experience. [Shelly Sinton] This crumble is a simply scrumptious dessert that I will make again and again.
