Pears are a nice treat in the fall.  Try this pear crisp for a little comfort.

6 pears
Juice of one lemon

water

1/4 cup apple cider

For a 9" square baking dish, core the pears. Slice pears about 1/4 inch thick and set aside. (a bowl of slightly acidic water with lemon juice will keep them from turning)  Drain and toss with apple cider.

Topping

3/4 cup butter

3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 Cup oatmeal

1/2 cup flour
1/4 Cup walnuts
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger (optional)

Butter or spray the bottom of baking dish and fill the bottom with sliced pears.Combine all ingredients in a food processor and crumble over pears  and bake.   Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream. The aroma will fill your house...yum!
