Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups pears, cored and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices or 3 lbs pears
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter, chilled cut into small pieces
1/3 cup oats, regular
1/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Combine pears and lemon juice in a 2-quart baking dish; toss gently to coat. Combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; stir with a whisk. Add cornstarch mixture to pear mixture; toss well to coat.
  • Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Place flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor; pulse 2 times or until combined. Add chilled butter; pulse 6 times or until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add oats and walnuts; pulse 2 times. Sprinkle flour mixture evenly over pear mixture.
  • Bake at 375° for 40 minutes or until pears are tender and topping is golden brown. Cool 20 minutes on a wire rack; serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pears: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe but not overripe pears. Ripe pears will be slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma.
  • Peel and core the pears: Before slicing the pears, be sure to peel and core them. This will remove the tough skin and the seeds, making the crisp easier to eat.
  • Slice the pears thinly: The thinner you slice the pears, the more evenly they will cook. Aim for slices that are about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Toss the pears with sugar and spices: Before adding the pears to the baking dish, toss them with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. This will help to enhance their natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a combination of oats and flour: The topping for the crisp is made with a combination of oats, flour, and butter. This combination creates a crispy and flavorful topping that complements the pears perfectly.
  • Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown: Bake the crisp in a preheated oven until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Serve the crisp warm or cold: The crisp can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. If you are serving it cold, chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

This harvest pear crisp with candied ginger is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet pears, crunchy topping, and spicy ginger creates a flavor that is both unique and irresistible. Whether you are serving it warm or cold, this crisp is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
