Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients. Before you start cooking, measure and cut all of your ingredients so that they're ready to go. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use ripe pears. Ripe pears are sweeter and more flavorful than unripe pears. If you can't find ripe pears, you can ripen them at home by placing them in a paper bag with a banana.
  • Don't overcook the pears. Overcooked pears will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they're tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a variety of nuts. Pecans are a classic choice for pear crisp, but you can also use walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts. Try experimenting with different combinations of nuts to create your own unique flavor profile.
  • Don't skimp on the butter. Butter is what gives pear crisp its rich, golden brown crust. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of butter in the topping.
  • Serve warm. Pear crisp is best served warm, right out of the oven. Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
