Mini Pear Crisps Recipe

By VegasBartender

I put these pear crisps on the grill to cook while everyone enjoys the day's more savory foods. They're always a hit because they're comforting and fun to eat.

Ingredients

• 1 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 8 medium pears, peeled and sliced
• Vanilla ice cream, optional

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in pecans and raisins.

Divide the pears among eight greased 4-1/2-in. disposable foil tart pans. Sprinkle with oat mixture.

Prepare grill for indirect heat. Grill crisps, covered, over indirect medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until pears are tender. Serve warm with ice cream if desired.


Before the party: Make the oatmeal mixture, keep chilled; peal and slice the pears.
