Gingersnap cookie crumbs are the base of the sweet, nut-filled crumble that tops this pear crisp. Ingredients:
1 cup crushed gingersnap cookies |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup dark brown sugar |
1/2 cup walnuts, pecans or slivered almonds, coarsely chopped or 1/2 cup of old-fashioned oatmeal |
5 tablespoons melted (not hot) butter |
6 cups jarred or canned pears, packed in light syrup, cut into |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
Directions:
1. Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Mix gingersnap crumbs, flour, brown sugar, nuts (or oatmeal) and butter in a medium bowl; set aside. Place pears in a medium bowl.
2. Bring 1 cup of the pear syrup, 1/4 cup sugar, ginger and cloves to boil in a small saucepan. Whisk cornstarch into remaining 2 Tbs. pear juice, then whisk it into boiling syrup; continue to simmer until thick, less than a minute. Pour over pears, toss to coat and turn into a 9-inch square baking pan.
