FRESH PEAR CRISP



Fresh Pear Crisp image

Mildred Sherrer's comforting fruit crisp is a pared-down version of one her mother used to fix. "I made it healthier by using reduced-fat margarine, fresh pears instead of canned and oats for some of the flour," she explains from Fort Worth, Texas. As a finishing touch, she suggests topping it with fat-free yogurt or whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm pears for the best flavor and texture. Avoid pears that are too soft or bruised.
  • To easily peel the pears, score them with a knife from the top to the bottom and place them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. The skins will then slip off easily.
  • If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour mixture. Just be sure to keep the butter cold so that it doesn't melt.
  • To prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
  • To get a golden brown crust, brush the top of the pie with milk or cream before baking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
