Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pears with granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently toss until the pears are evenly coated.
Transfer the pear mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, light brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Add the cold diced butter to the dry ingredients and rub it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pears in the baking dish.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the pears are bubbly and tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature to maintain crispness.
