6 large pears (about 2-1/2 pounds) peeled, cored and thinly sliced

1/4 cup warm water

1 lemon, juiced

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups brown sugar

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

1 stick butter, melted



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine pears, water and lemon juice in an 8 by 8-inch baking pan. In a bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir to make a crumbly mixture. Spread the topping evenly over the fruit. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until the topping is crisp and browned.
