Kitchen Tips
Tip 1
Note
Don't worry if your pears are a bit on the firm side - they will soften nicely when baked.
Tip 2
Food Facts
The best varieties of pears for baking are Anjou or Bosc.
Tip 3
Note
If crumb topping starts to overbrown, cover the dessert loosely with foil for the last few minutes of the baking time.
