To make this delicious dessert, you'll need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt

For the filling:

- 4 ripe pears, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt

For the crumble topping:

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 tsp salt
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine the flour, butter, brown sugar, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt for the crust. Mix until the dough comes together, then press it into a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Next, make the filling by combining the sliced pears, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well, then pour the mixture into the cooled crust.
For the crumble topping, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, butter, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then sprinkle it over the pear filling.
Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crumble topping is golden brown. Let the tart cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
This Gingerbread Pear Crumble Tart is the perfect dessert for any occasion, from holiday gatherings to weeknight dinners. The warm, spicy flavors of gingerbread pair perfectly with the sweet, juicy taste of pears, while the crunchy crumble topping adds a satisfying texture.
