Pear Crisp

Well my camera is not cooperating with the computer again so I am photo-less. :(

This is about the time pears really start  coming into season around here. Seckle  pears, if you can get them, are incredible in this.

Pear Crisp

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 c finely chopped crystallized ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
  • 8 cups peeled and sliced pears

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 2 quart casserole dish
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 2 Tbs  crystallized ginger, and cinnamon. Stir in the butter until the mixture is crumbly with pea sized lumps. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the white sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and 2 tbs of crystallized ginger. Add the sliced pears, and toss to blend. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.  Let set for 20 minutes to juice. Spread with the oat topping.
  4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until pears are soft and topping is golden.  Cool slightly before serving
