PEAR CRISP FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two small ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
• Mix pears, honey, and flour together in a bowl. Place equal amounts of the fruit mixture into each bowl.
• Combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, butter, walnuts, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a small bowl; crumble on top of the fruit.
• Bake in the preheated oven until slightly brown, about 35 minutes. Serve.

MINI APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Place apple slices in a small greased baking dish. In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in oats; sprinkle over apple slices. Bake until apple slices are tender, 35-40 minutes. Serve warm with cream, if desired.

PEAR CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center.
• Crisp topping:Stir together oats, sugar, almonds, flour, and salt. Add butter and mix with hands until small clumps form and dry mixture is coated in butter. Cover with plastic and refrigerate.
• Filling:Peel, halve, and core pears, then slice into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Add to a large bowl and toss with lime juice as you work to prevent pears from browning. Toss with sugar, ginger, flour, and salt. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Remove crisp topping from refrigerator and break into small pieces. Scatter evenly over the top. Transfer to oven and bake until bubbly, 50 to 60 minutes (tent top with foil if browning too quickly). Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack 20 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream. Crisp is best eaten the day it's made, but can be stored, covered, for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

MINI BLUEBERRY PEAR CRISPS

Steps:

• Wash, cut, peel (if desired, I don't use pesticides on my pear tree so I don't) your pears.
• Toss pears and blueberries with sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. If you are using individual ramekins or jars, let them sit for 15 minutes or so to allow the flour and sugar to extract some of the juices, tossing again every 5 minutes.
• Spoon fruit mixture into individual jars.
• Using a food processor or chopper (I use the slap chopper), chop the almonds and the butter (works great in the slap chopper).
• Add butter and almonds to the brown sugar and oats and mix making sure the butter is evenly mixed.
• Sprinkle the topping on the individual crisps.
• If baking individual crisps, bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes.
• If baking one large crisp, bake at 375 for 40 minutes.

MINI PEAR-AND-CRANBERRY AMARETTI CRISPS

Steps:

• For the Topping: Using your hands, mix together almonds, cookies, butter, brown sugar, and salt until butter is evenly distributed and mixture is crumbly. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
• For the Crisp: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, mix together pears, cranberries, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Stir in cornstarch to combine. Transfer to a mini pie dish (about 6 to 7 inches across top) or 2 individual gratin dishes (about 2 cups each).
• Bake until juices reduce and mixture is beginning to bubble, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with amaretti mixture and continue to bake until topping is browned and crisp and mixture is bubbling in center, about 15 minutes more. Let cool 10 minutes, then serve warm with ice cream or crème fraîche.
