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.

I think you put a wonderful spin on this dish. I like using the pear instead of apple, great idea.
