Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.Butter three oven-safe crocks. In a medium bowl, mix the 1/2 cup flour, oats, brown sugar, walnuts, cinnamon and pinch of salt. Add the butter to the oat mixture and use a pastry blender to cut it in, until the butter is partially incorporated. To fully incorporate the butter, mix with your finger tips until the oat mixture forms small clusters.In a large bowl, mix the pears, zest, juice, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Divide the pears between the three buttered crocks. Top the pears with the oat mixture, dividing it evenly between the three crocks. Press the tops of the oat mixture slightly to compact. Bake the three crocks on a baking sheet (to catch any drippings, if the crocks bubble over) for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the pears are tender. Top the crocks with ice cream, if desired, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm pears: Overripe pears will break down too much during baking, while unripe pears will be too hard.
- Use a variety of pear varieties: This will give your crisp a more complex flavor and texture.
- Peel and core the pears: This will make them easier to eat.
- Toss the pears with sugar and spices: This will help to caramelize the pears and give them a delicious flavor.
- Use a combination of oats, flour, and sugar for the topping: This will give the crisp a crunchy texture.
- Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender: This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.
- Let the crisp cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help to set the topping.
- Serve the crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream: This will make it even more delicious!
