Feel free to experiment with different types of pears, such as Anjou or Bartlett. The key is to use pears that are firm enough to hold their shape during baking. For an extra nutty flavor, add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping mixture. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture. To prevent the topping from browning too quickly, tent the dish with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. This crisp can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Consider adding 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger to the pear mixture for a little extra warmth and spice.
