Pear Amaretti Crumble Recipes

PEAR AMARETTI CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°.
• Combine first 4 ingredients, tossing to coat.
• Divide pear mixture evenly among 4 (8-ounce) ramekins; drizzle each serving with 1 tablespoon Marsala.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon crumbs over each serving; top each serving with 1 teaspoon butter.
• Bake at 500° for 8 minutes or until filling bubbles and topping browns. Top each serving with 1/3 cup frozen yogurt.

APPLE AND PEAR CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix oats, flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and butter together in a bowl until crumbly.
• Mix apples, pears, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl; spread into the bottom of a 9x9-inch glass pan. Sprinkle oat mixture atop apple-pear mixture; top with almonds.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 40 minutes.

PEAR-APPLE CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the crust: Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge with a fork or your fingers. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Peel and thinly slice the pears and apples and transfer to a large microwave-safe bowl; add the dried fruit, honey, granulated sugar, flour, lemon zest and juice, vanilla, cinnamon and salt and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until the apples and pears are tender and juicy, 5 to 7 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Make the topping: Whisk the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, work the butter into the oat mixture until small clumps form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Place the pie crust on a baking sheet. Add the filling, slightly mounding it in the center. Press the crumble topping evenly over the filling. Bake until the topping is browned and the filling is bubbling, about 1 1/2 hours. (Tent with foil if the topping browns too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

ROASTED PEARS WITH AMARETTI AND AMARETTO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Mix Amaretto and vinegar in a 13- by 9-inch baking dish. Put pears, cut sides down, in dish.
• Roast pears 15 minutes. Add water and roast until pears are tender but still hold their shape, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Arrange pears, cut sides up, on a platter and spoon pan juices over them. Sprinkle with half of cookie crumbs, then baste with pan juices. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs and serve warm or at room temperature.
