Very "oaty" topping. I was expecting the pears to make more of their own sauce, and the topping too to be more gooey and crispy, but I don't think there was enough sugar in the recipe for that to happen. I think next time I'll use another recipe for an apple or pear crisp.

We loved this recipe. Only changes I would make is to add more crystalized ginger to both topping and fillng,although I did not try it with ground ginger as some have stated. It is very easy and delicious! Will definitely make again.

Great recipe! I made the recipe adjusted to 12 servings and added frozen blueberries and apples (granny smith and ginger gold apples). I didn't have caramelized ginger so I added ground ginger. It smelled so good and tasted even better! I did have to add extra margarine to the topping, but the recipe is wonderful!

I have never used crystalized ginger. It was difficult to chop up finely so I used a pair of kitchen shears and tossed the ginger in the flour mixture as I snipped away. The ginger flavor was perfect not overbearing. I used canned pears, but kept the cooking the time the same. As was said by another reviewer the topping was very similar coming out of the oven as it was going in "loose". I might add more butter next time to increase the crumble. I returned the pan to the oven after I poured some of the pear juice over the crumble top which was my clueless moment (the oatmeal lost its crisp). Yummmy! I enjoyed this very much. Pears and ginger compliment each other wonderfully.

This was good. It was very quick and easy to make, I will probably make it again. I added ground ginger and frozen blueberries. As others said it was pretty liquid-y on the bottom. The leftovers were too soggy so I had to put it back in the oven to eat the next day, but the taste was really good.

This is a great way to use up over-ripe pears. Because my pears were way past their prime, the consistency of the pear mixture at the bottom was almost like a chunky applesauce, but with the chewy oat mixture baked on top and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it was still delicious and easy to eat. I did what others recommended and doubled the ginger, which did not seem to make a difference in the overall taste of the final product. This was a really simple recipe, which I LIKE, and I didn't have to throw my pears away. I would make this recipe again.

I really enjoyed this recipe. The amount of ginger was just right, though I did squeeze some fresh lemon over the pears before I added the flour/sugar/ginger mixture. Thanks for the recipe!

Very good recipe. I added a couple of apples to make a total of 8 cups of fruit. The next time I think I would only use 6 cups of fruit. It was too much fruit and took about 30 minutes longer to cook than the recipe indicated. But the crust was perfect and the seasoning was just right.

We really enjoyed this. Some of my pears were riper than others - the not so ripe ones were still slightly crunchy. Next time I'll make sure they are all ripe. I added some blueberries which complimented it well.

Loved it! I cooked it in a slow cooker for 2 hours as our oven was full that day. I also substituted gluten-free flour and oats since I'm celiac, and added in extra ginger. Tasty!

Yum! Really versatile too... I had only a 9" round cake plate and a 1 1/2 qt casserole dish... didn't have any ginger.. and I added extra cinnamon and just a little bit of ground cloves. I cut up a few extra pears and made double the crumb topping... it worked well and was VERY yummy.

I added blueberries to mine. It was yummy, but why wouldn't fruit and oats be yummy? I wish that the crisp part on top were more solid. Mine ended up loose and much like it was when i put it in the pan.

Oh my, this is soooooooooo good! I doubled the ginger and also added some chopped toasted almonds and hazlenuts to the oats mixture. I also subbed 1/3 of the pears for chopped apples and it was so delicious.. I had it with fresh cream as I didn't have any ice cream on hand, I can't wait to make it again!!

Good basic recipe. I also added some dried cranberries which gave a nice boost of color. I did not increase the ginger, but will do so next time. Very yummy way to use extra pears.

Super yummy, everyone loved it! I used half Bartlett, half Anjou pears - made for a nice contrast Also, I added a little allspice and a bit extra ginger to both the pears and topping. Since some said the pears were slightly dry, I added about 2 tbsp pear butter as well - delicious! Will definitely make again! :o)

Delicious! I thought the amount of ginger was just right without increasing it. I added a handful of dried cranberries to the pear mixture and that was a wonderful touch of tang and color.
