Wash and slice the pears into thin wedges. Toss with half the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Melt butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, add pears, and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender and caramelized.
In a separate bowl, combine oats, remaining brown sugar, flour, and salt to create the topping mixture.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the caramelized pears and gently press down with a spatula.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from oven and cool for 5-10 minutes before serving warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
