Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

For the filling:
Mix all the ingredients together. Place into 7 to 8-ounce ramekins.

For the topping:
Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in large bowl. Blend the butter into the mixture until it forms pea size lumps. Stir in pecans and sprinkle over filling.

Bake crisps for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Notes:
This is a good dessert to make ahead of time, either the morning of the day you want to serve it, or even a full day ahead. Cover and store in the fridge. Reheat for about 5 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees in the oven, or microwave for several seconds till warm enough. I found microwaving it to be very satisfying and not much different in texture from right out of the oven.

I’m sure you may have noticed that I forgot to add in the pecans to the filling. If you don’t want to add them to the filling, it was divine without, but I bet it’d be even better with!
