Karl’s Ginger Pear Crisp

I made the following dessert during my Crisps & Cobblers cooking class, which you can read about HERE.

6 pears, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup raisins
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, cut into bits
Topping:
1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
6 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Toss first six ingredients together in a bowl.
Pour into a buttered baking dish.
Using a fork combine the remaining six ingredients.
Spoon topping across pears.
Bake for 30 minutes or until brown and bubbly.
