This delicious pear crisp, spiced with ginger, is a wonderful fall dessert. When it's fresh out of the oven and still hot, it's especially good with ice cream. Ingredients:
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup water |
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
2 1/2 pounds pears, peeled, cored, and sliced |
cooking spray |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces |
1 1/2 (1-ounce) slices white bread |
1/4 cup slivered almonds, ground |
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add first 6 ingredients; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Place pear mixture in a 2-quart casserole lightly coated with cooking spray.
4. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger, and salt; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
5. Place bread in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until crumbs measure 3/4 cup. Stir breadcrumbs and nuts into flour mixture.
6. Sprinkle flour mixture evenly over pear mixture. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden.
