Ingredients

  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons candied ginger diced
  • 2 firm pears peeled, cored, & sliced
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries

For the crumble

  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 6 Walker’s Ginger Lemon Shortbread Cookies crushed
  • ¼ cup butter melted

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 5” cast iron skillet or two small ramekins.
  • In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Add the pears and candied ginger and toss to coat completely. Put the pear mixture into the prepared pan(s).
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, crushed cookies, ground ginger, and melted butter. Spread evenly over pear filling.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the pears are tender and the crumble is golden brown. Let cool slightly, serve warm with ice cream.

Notes

I used a small 5" cast iron skillet, but you could double the recipe to fill an 8x8" pan or quadruple the recipe to fill a 9x13" pan if you're feeding a crowd. Remember to adjust the baking time accordingly.
