An impending vacation but a big bag of pears gave me the impetus to try this recipe. The key here is that the fruit and crunchy topping are first baked separately. Also, the topping has a lot of chopped up almonds.
I baked the topping a bit longer than suggested - it was slower getting crunchy. I thought I'd overdone it. The topping is then poured over the fruit, and baked another 10 minutes. It sat about 20 minutes before I served it, and it was perfect. Crunchy top, which becomes soft where it contacts the pear. And not very sweet - just the right touch of sweetness.
This is definitely a recipe to remember, and put into active rotation.
