MINI PEAR-AND-CRANBERRY AMARETTI CRISPS
Sliced almonds and store-bought amaretti-cookies made from almond flour and egg whites-double the nutty flavor of these crisps, which each serve one or two people. Silky pears bring the sweetness, and cranberries keep things interesting with their mouth-puckering punch. A scoop of vanilla ice cream melting into the crags is, of course, a welcome addition.

Steps:
- For the Topping: Using your hands, mix together almonds, cookies, butter, brown sugar, and salt until butter is evenly distributed and mixture is crumbly. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
- For the Crisp: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, mix together pears, cranberries, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Stir in cornstarch to combine. Transfer to a mini pie dish (about 6 to 7 inches across top) or 2 individual gratin dishes (about 2 cups each).
- Bake until juices reduce and mixture is beginning to bubble, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with amaretti mixture and continue to bake until topping is browned and crisp and mixture is bubbling in center, about 15 minutes more. Let cool 10 minutes, then serve warm with ice cream or crème fraîche.
Tips:
- If you don't have a ramekin, you can use a small oven-safe bowl or even a mug.
- Be sure to peel and core your pears before slicing them.
- You can use any type of pear you like, but Bosc pears are a good choice because they hold their shape well.
- If you don't have vanilla extract, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon instead.
- Be sure to watch the crisps closely while they are baking so that they don't overcook.
Conclusion:
These mini pear crisps are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with fresh pears, a sweet and crunchy oat topping, and a hint of vanilla. These crisps can be served warm or cold, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
