Sliced almonds and store-bought amaretti-cookies made from almond flour and egg whites-double the nutty flavor of these crisps, which each serve one or two people. Silky pears bring the sweetness, and cranberries keep things interesting with their mouth-puckering punch. A scoop of vanilla ice cream melting into the crags is, of course, a welcome addition.

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.
