Very good. One thing: I had to cook longer than recommended––more like 45 mins in an oven that usually cooks too QUICKLY. Since I had hungry, tired guests, I decided to turn up the oven to 400 at the end. That provided a nice, crispy topping. Because I just used shredded ginger as opposed to crystallized, I added some extra sugar. Delicious with ice cream!

It took a while for hubby to give this a rating as he just kept shoveling more and more into his mouth. It's November and he willingly went out to our orchard to pick me a few of the remaining pears...and told me afterwards that there was still some left. I think that was a not so subtle hint. Can't remember when he last ate THAT much dessert at one time before and without the ice cream, it wasn't all that bad for him! First class recipe!!!

Yum, this was definitely a tasty pear crisp... but I wasn't a huge fan of the crystallized ginger... I also found that 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon was actually to much... I found it sort of over powering the peach... and I prefer a strong peach taste. Next time I make it, I think I will go for 2/3 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and I would leave out the ginger all together.

As good as I've ever made any crisp. One of the best, not lumpy or gooey. Will do this one again.

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.
