Servings: persons

1/3 cup 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
4 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1 tablespoon crystallized (candied) ginger, finely minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
5 very firm Bartlett, Comice or Anjou pears -- must not be overripe or soft
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with vegetable spray and set aside. Place the flour, sugar, ginger and butter into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer to a bowl and with your fingers, work the mixture, squeezing to create a lumpy, crumbly texture. Add the almonds and toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to top the crumble.
2
Peel the pears and halve them with a sharp knife. Cut the halves in half again and remove the core and stem. Cut pears into thin slices lengthwise. Transfer pears to a large bowl and sprinkle with the lemon juice. Add the minced ginger and toss together. Sprinkle the pears with cinnamon and nutmeg.
3
In a small bowl, mix the water and cornstarch together to form a slurry. Pour over the pears and toss to coat the pears with the slurry and spices. Transfer the pears to the prepared baking dish.
4
Liberally sprinkle the almond topping over the pear filling. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour until the fruit is tender, but not mushy and the topping is a warm, golden color.
5
If the fruit is tender, but the topping is pale, place it under the broiler for 4-5 minutes to get a little color. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla or a drizzle of cream.
