Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm pears: This will ensure that they hold their shape during baking and have a slightly tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the filling.
- Use a variety of pears: Mixing different varieties of pears, such as Bartlett, Bosc, and Anjou, adds depth of flavor and texture to the crisp.
- Don't overmix the filling: Overmixing will make the filling dense and tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a combination of oats and flour: This will give the crisp a crispy topping and a chewy interior.
- Press the topping firmly onto the filling: This will help to prevent the filling from bubbling up and overflowing during baking.
- Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will ensure that the crisp is cooked through and has a delicious caramelized flavor.
- Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Pear almond crisp is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
