Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 2
In a small ovenproof skillet, dry-roast the pecans in a single layer in the preheating oven for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring several times. Remove from the skillet so they don’t burn.
Step 3
Put the pears in a 1-quart casserole dish or 9-inch glass pie pan.
Step 4
In a medium saucepan, stir together the wine and juice, sugar, ginger, and cloves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 4 minutes, or until reduced by half, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
In a small bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, flour, and nutmeg. Using a fork, stir in the oil, then the pecans. Sprinkle over the pears. Pour the sauce over all.
Step 6
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the sauce is bubbly. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
Apple Crisp
Step 7
Replace the pears with canned apple slices, and replace the ginger with 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Use 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, not ground cloves.
