Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield Ten servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pounds Bosc Pears, cored and peeled
1/2 cup Poire William (pear brandy)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup whole blanched almonds
1 3/4 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup crushed amaretti cookies
2 1/2 pints chilled heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Halve the pears and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place the pear slices in a bowl, sprinkle with the brandy and sugar and gently stir with a wooden spoon to coat evenly. Set aside for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Toast the almonds on a cookie sheet for 7 to 10 minutes or until evenly toasted. Remove and cool. Finely chop the almonds by hand.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix in the butter, working with your fingers until the mixture holds together and is crumbly. Stir in the chopped almonds and the crushed amaretti cookies. Set aside.
  • Place the pears and their juice in a 12-inch round porcelain tart pan. Spread the almond mixture evenly over them. Bake for 1 hour or until the pears are bubbling and the topping is golden brown. To serve, scoop out the hot crisp into individual dessert bowls and pour 1/2 cup of chilled heavy cream over each portion.

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.

Conclusion:

Pear almond crisp is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and tart filling, crispy topping, and nutty streusel, it's the perfect way to enjoy the flavors of the season. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or a casual weeknight dessert, pear almond crisp is sure to be a hit.
