Pear Crisp

This is so much better than any apple crisp I have ever made, I don't know if I could ever go back.

Filling:

6 C peeled, cored, and sliced ripe pears (about 6)

1/3 C sugar

1 T chopped candied ginger

1 T lemon juice

1 T flour

Topping:

1 C flour

3/4 C packed light brown sugar

1/2 C rolled oats

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 C unsalted butter, room temp, cut in 1/4 inch slices

1.) Heat oven to 400. Butter a 9x13.

2.) Combine the filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Toss well. Spread fruit in bottom of pan and bake for 10 minutes.

3.) Combine flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the butter, with your fingers rub the ingredients together until well blended.

4.) Remove casserole from oven and top with topping. Bake about 20-25 minutes more. Let cool about 15 minutes.

Delicious with a bit of whipped cream!
