Mini Pear Crisps Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Toss pears with orange juice; place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Combine the sugar, cinnamon, allspice and ginger; sprinkle over pears., For topping, in a small bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and baking powder; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over pears., Bake until topping is golden brown and fruit is tender, 35-40 minutes. Serve warm. If desired, garnish with mint.

Steps:

• For the Topping: Using your hands, mix together almonds, cookies, butter, brown sugar, and salt until butter is evenly distributed and mixture is crumbly. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
• For the Crisp: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, mix together pears, cranberries, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Stir in cornstarch to combine. Transfer to a mini pie dish (about 6 to 7 inches across top) or 2 individual gratin dishes (about 2 cups each).
• Bake until juices reduce and mixture is beginning to bubble, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with amaretti mixture and continue to bake until topping is browned and crisp and mixture is bubbling in center, about 15 minutes more. Let cool 10 minutes, then serve warm with ice cream or crème fraîche.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart casserole dish or 9 inch square baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 1 teaspoon crystallized ginger, and cinnamon. Stir in the butter until the mixture is crumbly with pea sized lumps. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, stir together the white sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and 2 teaspoons of crystallized ginger. Add the sliced pears, and toss to blend. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Spread with the oat topping.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until pears are soft and topping is golden brown. Cool slightly before serving with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Wash, cut, peel (if desired, I don't use pesticides on my pear tree so I don't) your pears.
• Toss pears and blueberries with sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. If you are using individual ramekins or jars, let them sit for 15 minutes or so to allow the flour and sugar to extract some of the juices, tossing again every 5 minutes.
• Spoon fruit mixture into individual jars.
• Using a food processor or chopper (I use the slap chopper), chop the almonds and the butter (works great in the slap chopper).
• Add butter and almonds to the brown sugar and oats and mix making sure the butter is evenly mixed.
• Sprinkle the topping on the individual crisps.
• If baking individual crisps, bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes.
• If baking one large crisp, bake at 375 for 40 minutes.
