    Pera CrumblePin

    I had apple crisp for the first time in this country about six years ago and I fell in love with it. I am not an apple pie person, so apple crisp was the perfect dessert for me. But I prefer pears over apples without a doubt, so I made this pear crisp topped with vanilla ice cream about a month ago and we loved it.

    My father in law came to taste it and he, along with my husband and me were discussing whether it was too sweet or not. We all thought it was perfect just the way it was, but if you think it is too sweet, just adjust the sugar to your liking.

      Fruit crisps, I love them. Any fruit would be delicious in my book when made into a crisp.

      Delicious looking crisp (we call it crumble). I like the addition of pecans in your topping - sounds great. When I use pear in a crumble, I like to add some raspberries too (to give a bit of tartness).

        I used small pans (single serving), but you can use 8x8.
