  • Peel and cut pears into 1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces to yield about 7 cups.

  • Spoon the 'topping' over the fruit and bake until the topping is brown, crisp, and the fruit mixture is bubbling. About 1 hours 15 minute.

  1. I LOVED this recipe. It was easy to make and delicious!!!!
     
  2. Spectacular! This was a great way to use up my overabundance of pears.<br/>I only changed two things: I didn't have fresh cranberries, so I used Craisins instead. I also left out the cloves (I didn't have any). This is so yummy served with vanilla ice cream! :D Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. One of the easiest and fastest desserts to prepare. Smells absolutely wonderful as it is cooking and my family ate it all in one sitting! I plan to make it for Thanksgiving 2010 :)
     
  4. The best crisp of any kind I've ever had....so good!
