A cozy and delicious Pear Ginger Crisp featuring tender baked pears topped with a crunchy oat and brown sugar mixture balanced by warm ginger flavor. Perfect for a comforting dessert or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit:

  • 5 cups peeled and sliced pears (about 4 ripe pears)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Topping:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pears: Peel, core, and slice the pears into even pieces. Place them evenly in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the freshly grated ginger over the pears to infuse a warm, spicy flavor.
  2. Mix the topping: In a bowl, combine the rolled oats and brown sugar. Cut the cold butter into the oat mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture becomes crumbly and pea-sized clumps form.
  3. Assemble the crisp: Evenly distribute the oat and butter mixture over the pears, ensuring good coverage to create a crispy topping.
  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crisp for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender and bubbling around the edges.
  5. Cool and serve: Allow the crisp to cool for about 10 minutes before serving to let the juices thicken. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the oat topping.
  • If pears are not quite ripe, increase baking time slightly to ensure softness.
  • Use cold butter to ensure a crumbly topping rather than a melted crust.
  • This recipe can be made with gluten-free oats to accommodate gluten sensitivities.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
