Recipe Tips
- Food Facts
The best varieties of pears for baking are Anjou or Bosc. - Note
If crumb topping starts to overbrown, cover the dessert loosely with foil for the last few minutes of the baking time. - Note
Don't worry if your pears are a bit on the firm side, since they will soften nicely when baked.
