Orchard Pear Crisp

SERVES: 10

COOK TIME: 35 Min

Our yummy Orchard Pear Crisp is a warm, fruit-filled dessert that literally shouts "comfort." Serve as is or, with the contrast of vanilla ice cream, it's a flavor combo made in heaven.

What You'll Need

4 (15-ounce) cans pears, drained and cut into wedges
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
20 caramel candies, unwrapped
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons heavy cream

What to Do

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat an 8" x 8" baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine pears, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and caramels; mix well then pour into baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, salt, butter, and cream; mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over pear mixture.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until bubbly and top is golden.

Serving Tip

For an extra fancy touch, make a chocolate lace topping by melting 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Then place melted chocolate in a plastic zipper bag, snip off corner, and squeeze to drizzle over crumb top. Let cool slightly before serving.

Hi there! This can be made with 4 to 5 pears, thinly sliced. You might need to add 5 to 10 minutes more on the time because they are fresh pears. Enjoy!
