Prepare dried pears: Cut out and discard stems and cores from dried pear halves. Chop into 1/2-inch pieces to yield about 1 cup.

Prepare oat mixture: In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat and add the brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to coat the oats evenly.

Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven, uncovered, and bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is crisp and golden brown.
