Gingered Pear Crisp with Oat-Walnut Streusel Recipe
Ingredients
For the pears
- A slab of butter for greasing the baking dish
- 4 medium pears, peeled, cored, and sliced (Anjou or Bartlett work best)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
For the streusel
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (non-instant)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick), diced
Instructions
For the pears:
- Fire up the oven to 350°F degrees and position a rack in the middle. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking dish using butter and set it aside.
- Cut each pear in half, remove the core, and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Toss the slices in a large, non-reactive bowl along with the lemon juice, ensuring they get evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the mixture with flour, brown sugar, ginger, and salt. Mix gently to combine. Pour this mixture into the well-prepared baking dish.
For the streusel:
- Combine the rolled oats, finely chopped walnuts, flour, brown sugar, butter diced into small cubes, and a touch of cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed and clumped together.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the pear layers evenly. Bake until the pears are fork-tender, the streusel mix is bubbling, and the topping has turned golden-brown (roughly 45 to 50 minutes). Allow the crisp to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Teaming up the sweetness of pears with the warmth of ginger and the crunch of walnuts makes this crisp a delectable and fitting dessert option for autumn get-togethers. If desired, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
