INGREDIENTS

Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 9 servings
Preparation Time: 25 minutes

2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon grated lemon peel, divided

5 cups sliced peeled ripe pears (about 2 pounds)

1/2 cup old-fashioned oats

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/8 teaspoon ground cardamon

3 tablespoons cold butter

1/4 cup sliced almonds

Lemon Sauce:

1/4 cup sugar

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1/2 cup cold water

1 egg yolk, beaten

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons flour, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of lemon peel. Add pears; gently toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Combine the oats, brown sugar, cardamon and remaining flour and lemon peel; mix well. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in almonds. Sprinkle over pears. Bake at 375 F. for 35-40 minutes or until pears are tender and topping is golden brown.

For lemon sauce, combine sugar and corn starch in a saucepan. Gradually stir in water until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolk; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Cook and stir 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat; stir in butter, lemon juice and peel. Serve with warm pear crisp. Yield: 9 servings.
