Pear Crisp

Pear Crisp

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 6 Medium to large Bartlett pears (or Anjou)
  • cinnamon to taste
  • 1/3 cup butter (at room temperature)
  • 2/3 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 Tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour

Directions

Grease a small casserole dish (1 ½ quarts) ⅔ full with sliced pears sprinkling cinnamon to taste. I do not usually add any sugar to the pears, since the topping/crust is quite sweet and that makes the dish sweet enough.
Pear Crisp - prepare the pears
Topping
Cream butter and brown sugar. Add the flour and ginger and rub to a crumbly mixture. Sprinkle mixture over the pears.
Pear Crisp - add the topping
Bake at 350 °F for about 40 minutes or until pears are bubbly. Serve plain or with ice cream.
