Caramel Pear Crumble
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 30 min.
YIELD: 6 servings.
This is the first recipe I turn to after my mother shares juicy pears from her orchard. The down-home flavor of the not-too-sweet dessert is a welcomed alternative to apple crisp. Its crumbly topping and hint to caramel keep friends asking for more.
