Delicious and confirmed delicious by all the people that had eaten it. Took this to a family dinner and it was gone so none for leftovers. Making two batches today. One to take to a party and one to enjoy at home. I love the topping and am thinking when pears are gone will switch pears for apples. Am adding a bit more pears to the recipe to add to the deliciousness.
This is excellent. My husband doesn't like pears and every time I make this he tells me, "I don't like pears but that was very good!" Grandkids will even eat this ALL up!
I can't rate this recipe. I doesn't show the entire recipe. It stops at in the list of items at pears.
very good! I used instant oatmeal maple flavor, so I only used 1/2 the sugar, I also added cinnomin
Way too sweet. Next time I will try it with half the sugar or none at all since there plenty of sugar in the cookies and natural sugar in the pears. Next time I will also cook it in a 9 x 11 so that the pears can cook faster and I can spread out the topping better.
I have made this twice and it is so good. The only problem I can see with it-It disappears to quickly. I got raves at a dinner I had a while back.
This is so delicious!! It smells heavenly while it is baking too. My family all LOVED it and I've made it several times now. Made it exactly as directed, it's perfect. Real comfort food. Thank you for this recipe Linda, it is a keeper!
I made this for a group of friends and everyone raved! I didn't change anything in the recipe, except that I did double it which was a good thing. Everyone went back for seconds! The combination of the pears and ginger snaps is excellent.
Very tasty!
