Have you ever had or made Pear Crisp?
It's so good, and I think a rather neglected fall dessert. It's rather close to my favorite Apple Crisp Recipe with a few changes.
I cut back on the sugar with the pears, since pears are so sweet, and I still added some lemon juice. It helps prevent the pears from browning, and also brightens the flavor of the filling.
Pear Crisp has all the flavors of Fall with nutmeg, ginger, vanilla and of course plenty of cinnamon in both the filling and crumbly crisp topping.
A hearty scoop of vanilla ice cream or maybe even Homemade Caramel Swirl Ice Cream and a drizzle of Caramel Sauce if I'm really looking to dress it up, and you're guaranteed to be in dessert heaven.
Here's how I make one of our favorite fall dessert recipes Pear Crisp.
In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or large bowl add:
- 1 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour or All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Old Fashioned Oatmeal
- 1 cup Chopped Walnuts or Other Favorite Nuts (optional)
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Add 14 tablespoons Butter cut into 1 tablespoon sized pieces. Add 1-2 tablespoons at a time mixing on low speed until well combined, crumbly, and butter is no longer visible.
Alternatively you can use a pastry cutter or fork and work butter into the flour mixture until crumbs hold together and butter is no longer visible.
In a large mixing bowl add 8 whole Peeled, Cored, and Sliced Large Pears about 8 cups.
I used Bartlett Pears, because they are in season at the moment. I think the most important thing is waiting until the pears are ripe and juicy for best flavor.
I find a sharp paring knife works best for peeling ripe pears.
Add:
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/3 cup All- Purpose Flour or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- 1 whole Large Lemon, Juiced about 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
Evenly spread pears in the bottom of a 9"x13" baking dish.
Cover pears evenly with crumb mixture.
Bake in 350° preheated oven for 1 hour until lightly brown and pears are bubbly around the edges.
We love Pear Crisp warm out of the oven.
If it's not all devoured I like to cover it and store it in the fridge. I find the moisture in the pears makes the crisp go soft if it's not refrigerated and we just reheat each serving for about 30-45 seconds in the microwave.
It makes a great dessert for the Thanksgiving dessert table too.
