PEAR AND RAISIN CRUMBLE



Pear and Raisin Crumble image

This is from the March 2008 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. I had picked up 5 pounds of fresh pears at Sam's Club and decided that a simple dessert was in order. Being a non-baker, the simpler the better, and this recipe really suits my no-fuss style without compromising flavor. Such a comfort served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 lbs pears, peeled, quartered, cored, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices
1/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons ginger snaps, crushed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons butter, chilled, diced
4 tablespoons ginger snaps, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Mix pears, 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons crushed cookies, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in 11x7x2-inch glass baking dish. Mix in raisins.
  • Using fingertips (I was resistant to this instruction and tried to use just a fork to combine the ingredients, but finally gave in and use my fingertips with great success. The butter needs the slight warmth of your hands to combine well with the dry stuff.), press together flour, butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in large bowl until moist clumps form. Mix in 4 tablespoons crushed cookies.
  • Drop topping evenly over filling. Bake until juices bubble thickly and topping is brown, about 30 minutes.

PEAR COBBLER

A rustic batter is dropped onto fresh pears before being baked for a healthier dessert. Using less sugar than most recipes I've seen, the crisp flavor of the pears is highlighted. My family and I enjoy this at breakfast. I leave 1 or 2 of the pears unpeeled to add a bit of color.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 ½ pounds Bosc pears, washed
1 egg
¼ cup milk
1 cup whole wheat flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons cane sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a round 9x2-inch, 6-cup baking dish.
  • Fill a large bowl halfway with water and add lemon juice. Peel all but 1 of the pears. Core and cut all the pears into eighths. Add pear slices to lemon water to keep them from browning.
  • Combine egg and milk in a bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons cane sugar, and brown sugar together in a separate bowl. Use a fork to cut cold butter into flour mixture until it resemble pebbles.
  • Drain pears and put into a bowl. Sprinkle with corn starch and 1/4 cup cane sugar; toss to coat.
  • Pour milk-egg mixture into the flour mixture. Mix batter until just combined. Add pears to the prepared baking dish. Drop batter by spoonful onto the pears.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned on top, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
