Mini Pear Crisp

pear crispBrrrrrr.

It has been freezing in the city lately! There is nothing like a freshly baked pear crisp to warm you up! I found a recipe on Cooking Light and decided to adapt it to mini one-person servings by using my ramekins. I can’t get enough of pears, they are my favorite fall fruit! They are perfect for this dessert, because they become very tender underneath a crispy topping. This pear crisp dessert is best made with fresh, ripe pears and served with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping. You can double the recipe to make an 8×8 dish.

The weekend went by really fast, as usual. Today was my day off and I spent most of it in the kitchen catching up on my cooking for the week. Last night we had wild rice with roasted chicken. I have some wild rice left over that I am just dying to make a soup with!

Hope you had a fun weekend!

    I will definitely try this! Pear is a favorite fruit in my family! I love the fact you are also local so I know all ingredients are available where I live as well.

    This certainly looks like the perfect dessert for the cooler weather. October has been so hot here in Sydney yet the last few days have seen me searching for my jumpers and doonas as it’s gone back to winter. It’s cold enough for me to cook your crisp! xx

    It needed 3 pears, 1/2 the crumble recipe, plus 1 extra tbls of butter to the crumble mixture. Lemon juice instructions.
