Recipe: Pear and Ginger Crisp

Pear and Ginger Crisp

2 cans (16 ounces each) sliced pears or pear halves in heavy syrup, drained
1 tablespoon minced crystallized ginger
2/3 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
Vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt, optional

Heat oven to 400 F.

Arrange pears in an even layer in a shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish; sprinkle with crystallized ginger.

For Topping:
Combine the oatmeal, brown sugar, flour and ginger in the work bowl of a food processor. Add the butter and process in pulses until the mixture is crumbly.

Sprinkle the topping mixture over pears. Bake until topping is lightly browned and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
