GINGERSNAP CRUMB PEAR PIE
This basic recipe was one my grandmother used for making crumble pies from fresh fruit. She simply substituted oats, gingersnaps or vanilla wafers depending on the fruit. Pear was always my favorite, and I added the ginger and caramel to give it a new twist. -Fay Moreland, Wichita Falls, Texas
