Amaretto Pear Crisp

There is something satisfying about slightly sweet fruit baked with a crunchy, golden brown topping on it. The only thing to make it better is a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. This recipe is really easy. It is based off of Auntie Noreen's apple crisp recipe.

The Ingredients
4 cups of peel, sliced pears (about 4-5 pears)
3 tablespoons of Amaretto
.5 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup AP flour
3/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons butter

The Method
In a mixing bowl, mix together the pears, and amaretto.

Throw the flour, sugar, salt, and sliced butter into the food processor. Pulse until the mix resembles damp sand. A pastry cutter can be used too; it will take longer though.
Butter a 10x6 pan, pour in the apples and sprinkle on the crumb mixture. Bake for 40-45 minutes at 350, or until golden brown. Let it cool for about 10 minutes to avoid a scalding mouthful. Scoop a hefty scoop of ice cream on top and enjoy!
