FRESH PEAR CRISP



Fresh Pear Crisp image

Mildred Sherrer's comforting fruit crisp is a pared-down version of one her mother used to fix. "I made it healthier by using reduced-fat margarine, fresh pears instead of canned and oats for some of the flour," she explains from Fort Worth, Texas. As a finishing touch, she suggests topping it with fat-free yogurt or whipped cream.

PEAR CRISP

Choose Bosc pears that are ripe but still a little firm for the filling of this oat-almond crisp -- they'll stand up well to baking.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup sliced almonds
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
6 Bosc pears (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center.
  • Crisp topping:Stir together oats, sugar, almonds, flour, and salt. Add butter and mix with hands until small clumps form and dry mixture is coated in butter. Cover with plastic and refrigerate.
  • Filling:Peel, halve, and core pears, then slice into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Add to a large bowl and toss with lime juice as you work to prevent pears from browning. Toss with sugar, ginger, flour, and salt. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Remove crisp topping from refrigerator and break into small pieces. Scatter evenly over the top. Transfer to oven and bake until bubbly, 50 to 60 minutes (tent top with foil if browning too quickly). Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack 20 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream.

1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup dark molasses
2 large eggs

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm pears: For the best flavor and texture, use pears that are ripe but still firm. Avoid pears that are too soft or bruised.
  • Peel and slice the pears thinly: This will help them cook evenly in the crisp.
  • Use a variety of spices: Ginger is the main spice in this crisp, but you can also add other spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to taste.
  • Don't overmix the topping: The topping should be crumbly, not too wet or dry. If it's too wet, it will be difficult to spread on the pears. If it's too dry, it won't hold together.
  • Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender: This will usually take about 30-40 minutes.

Conclusion:

This fresh pear ginger crisp is a delicious and easy dessert that's perfect for fall. The pears are tender and juicy, the topping is crispy and flavorful, and the ginger adds a warm and spicy kick. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a truly decadent treat.
