Preheat oven to 375ºF.
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use a pastry blender or a fork to cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Layer pear slices evenly in the bottom of the baking pan. Spoon the crumb mixture over the top.
Bake at 375ºF for 30-35 minutes, until pears are tender and the top is golden brown in color. Serve warm with a drizzle of cream or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Ripe pears can be refrigerated to slow the ripening process for up to five days.
Use two forks to cut in the butter if you don't have a food processor or pastry blender.

Recipe Variations:

Pear & rhubarb crumble: Add chopped rhubarb for a tart contrast to the sweetness of the pears, giving your pear crumble a deliciously tangy twist.
Nutty: Mix chopped pecans or walnuts into the crumble topping for extra crunch and a rich, nutty flavor.
Spiced pear crumble recipe: Enhance the warm flavors with a dash of cardamom, ginger, or nutmeg, complementing the natural sweetness of the pears.

Storing Instructions:

Store leftover crumble in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
You can even freeze it to save for later in a glass or plastic container for up to three months.
Thaw frozen pear crumble in the refrigerator overnight and then heat in the microwave or oven until warmed all the way through.
