Ingredients for a Delightful Pear Crisp
- Ripe pears: Sweet and juicy fruit that adds natural sweetness and texture to the crisp when baked.
- Granulated sugar: Sweetens the pears and topping, enhancing the flavor and caramelization during baking.
- Ground cinnamon: Adds warm and aromatic flavor to the pears, complementing the sweetness and enhancing the overall taste.
- Ground nutmeg: Provides a warm and slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with the pears and cinnamon in the crisp.
- Old-fashioned oats: Creates a crunchy and hearty topping that adds texture and flavor contrast to the soft baked pears.
- All-purpose flour: Helps bind the topping ingredients together and adds structure to create a crispy and crumbly texture.
- Brown sugar: Adds a rich and caramel-like sweetness to the topping, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the pear crisp.
- Unsalted butter: Melts into the topping, creating a buttery richness and helping to achieve a golden-brown and crispy finish.
Did you know that adding a splash of lemon juice to the pear mixture can enhance the flavor and prevent the pears from browning quickly during the cooking process? Give it a try next time you make this crisp!
