Use ripe but firm pears for the best texture. Bosc, Anjou, or Bartlett pears work well. For a nuttier flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, tent the dish with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking. This crisp is best served warm, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving. A dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce would also be delightful additions.
