| Comments: This makes a fine dessert for your Passover Seder. If desired, add golden raisins or dried cranberries to the crisp. Either one will add a nice flavor. |
Ingredients:  Filling: 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 10 peeled Bosc or Bartlett pears, cored and coarsely chopped (about 3 3/4 pounds) Cooking spray Topping: 1 cup matzo cake meal 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice 1 large egg white 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick/3oz/84g) chilled butter, cut into small pieces |
| Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F/200 degrees C. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. To prepare filling, combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl (add 1/2 to 3/4 cup golden raisins or dried cranberries, if desired), toss well. Spoon filling into prepared baking dish. To prepare topping, combine matzo cake meal and next 5 ingredients (matzo cake meal through allspice) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add egg white; stir well with a whisk. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal; sprinkle topping over filling. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until pears are soft and topping is golden. Makes 10 servings. |
