Tips & Tricks
Recipe Alt: For a fun and convenient twist, the pear crisp can be prepared as individual portions. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pears, water, and allspice. Evenly divide the mixture among 8 medium-sized, oven-safe ramekins. Prepare the topping as directed, then sprinkle it evenly over each ramekin.
Bake at the specified temperature for 20–30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender when pierced with a fork.
