This slow roasted pear crumble is simply amazing. I did not set out to make a pear crumble recipe at first. I am not even a huge fan of pears, but my husband and my daughter Meadow love them.  I do love a good fruit crumble recipe though. Since we ended up getting a bag of pears in our co op basket this past weekend, I decided to slow cook them in the crock pot to see how they would turn out. The smell in the house that day was amazing.  A Yankee Candle had nothing on these babies.  The pears came out so delicious in fact that even I had some.  I decided to boost them into even more awesomeness with the addition of a crumb topping.

It worked.  Marcus said they were the best part of his lunch this week.  This dish would be a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving meal.  I’m making it this holiday season for sure.
