Baking spray

1 (8 oz) container Pillsbury crescent dough sheet
>
3 medium ripe Bartlett or Anjou pears
>
8 tbsp (1 stick) softened butter, divided
>
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, divided

Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with foil and coat with baking spray. Unroll the dough and press in the bottom of the pan and just slightly up the sides. Use a fork to poke small holes in dough. Bake 12–15 min., until golden.
2
Meanwhile, peel, core, and finely chop the pears. In a 12-inch skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter on medium. Add pears, ¼ cup brown sugar, lemon juice, and ½ tsp cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, 8–10 min., until pears are tender. Remove from heat and stir in cornstarch.
3
In a small bowl, combine remaining ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ tsp cinnamon, oats, flour, and pinch of salt. Add remaining 6 tbsp butter. With hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
4
Spread pear mixture over dough. Sprinkle with oat topping. Bake 15–20 min., until top is golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before removing from pan using foil. Cut into 2x1-inch bars.
