Ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

For the filling:

- 2 cups diced pears
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the crumble topping:

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
4. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, toss together the diced pears, sugar, cornstarch, ginger, and cinnamon until well combined.
5. Once the crust is done baking, remove it from the oven and spread the pear filling over the top.
6. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and ginger for the crumble topping. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.
7. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the pear filling and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
8. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the bars cool completely before slicing and serving.
