Fresh Pear Crisp Recipe

By lindsayvk

Made on 10/2 - with pears from CSA. I added sliced almonds to the crumble top!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
• 3 tablespoons cold reduced-fat stick margarine, cut into pieces
• 4 cups sliced peeled pears (about 2 pounds)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in margarine until coarse crumbs form; set aside.

Place pears in a large bowl. Sprinkle with sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel, ginger and remaining cinnamon; toss to coat. Transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with crumb mixture. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until pears are tender.
