APPLE PEAR GINGER CRISP



Apple Pear Ginger Crisp image

adapted from a recipe on tastykitchen.com. the amount of pears and apples is a guess, since they are different sizes, I used 4 of each but just mostly fill a 2.5 qt casserole- it should be almost to the very top with the crumble topping. candied or crystalized ginger can be used. ice cream is the best way to serve this- classic vanilla is how i had it but cinnamon or ginger (like haagen dazs) would be great too.

GINGER PEAR CRISP



GINGER PEAR CRISP image

Categories     Fruit     Dessert

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup almonds (3 ounces)
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (2 1/2 ounces)
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar (1 3/4 ounces)
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons chopped crystalized ginger
Table salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted and cooled
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice from 1 lemon
3 pounds ripe but firm pears (6-7 medium), see note above

Steps:

  • 1. 1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Process almonds, flour, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, ground ginger, crystallized ginger, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in food processor until nuts are finely chopped, about nine 1-second pulses. Drizzle butter over flour mixture and pulse until mixture resembles crumbly wet sand, about five 1-second pulses, pausing halfway through to scrape down sides and bottom of workbowl. Set aside while preparing fruit. 2. 2. Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, cornstarch, fresh ginger, lemon juice, and pinch of salt together in large bowl. Peel pears, then halve and core each (see illustrations below). Cut each half into 4 wedges and then cut in half crosswise (pieces should be about 1 1/2 inches). Gently toss pears with sugar mixture and transfer to 8-inch-square baking dish. 3. 3. Sprinkle topping evenly over fruit, breaking up any large chunks. Bake until fruit is bubbling around edges and topping is deep golden brown, 27 to 32 minutes. Cool on wire rack until warm, at least 15 minutes, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pears: This will ensure that your crisp is sweet and flavorful. If your pears are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with a ripe banana for a few days.
  • Peel and core the pears: This will make it easier to slice them for the crisp.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the pears: This will help to prevent them from browning.
  • Toss the pears with sugar, cornstarch, and spices: This will help to thicken the crisp and add flavor.
  • Use a mixture of oats and flour for the topping: This will give the crisp a crispy texture.
  • Spread the topping evenly over the pears: This will ensure that the crisp is cooked evenly.
  • Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender: This will take about 45 minutes.
  • Serve the crisp warm or at room temperature: It can be enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Pear and ginger crisp is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart flavors, this crisp is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
