Individual Pear Crumbles With Maple Yogurt Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the pear crumbles: Toss the pears, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and 2 teaspoons of the flour together in a medium bowl. Divide the mixture between 3 mini pie plates.
• Stir together the remaining 1/2 cup flour, oats, pecans, nutmeg, cloves and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Add the butter and, with fingers, blend it into the dry ingredients until fully incorporated. Squeeze the mixture into clumps, then divide it among the pie plates, spreading it to cover the pears.
• Set the pie plates on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the crumble mixture is golden brown, about 35 minutes.
• For the maple yogurt: Stir together the yogurt, maple syrup, orange zest and juice until well mixed.
• Serve the warm crumbles with a dollop of the maple yogurt.

Steps:

• Make topping:
• Combine all ingredients in processor. Process until walnuts are coarsely chopped and small moist clumps form. Transfer topping to medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Make pears:
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Toss all ingredients except sour cream in large bowl to blend. Let stand 15 minutes. Transfer pear mixture to 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. Sprinkle topping over pears. Bake until pears are tender, juices bubble thickly and topping is golden and crisp, about 30 minutes. Let stand at least 10 minutes. Serve warm with sour cream.

Steps:

• For Filling:
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut pears crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Combine in large bowl with maple syrup, flour, vanilla extract and ground nutmeg. Divide among six 2/3-cup custard cups of soufflé dishes. Dot tops with butter. Bake filling until hot and bubbling, about 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, Prepare Topping:
• Mix first 3 ingredients in processor. Add 6 tablespoons chilled butter and cut in until mixture resembles fine meal. Transfer to large bowl. Mix half and half, 6 tablespoons syrup and vanilla in another bowl. Add to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Working quickly, drop batter in three mounds, 1 heaping tablespoon per mound, atop hot filling in each cup. Brush topping with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and nutmeg. Immediately return cups to oven and bake 8 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375°F. and bake until toppings are golden and just firm to touch, about 14 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes.
• In medium bowl, beat 1 cup chilled cream with 3 tablespoons maple syrup to soft peaks. Serve cobblers warm with whipped cream. Drizzle additional maple syrup over.
