Pear & Fig Crisp {Food Matters Project}
I was way more excited about Downton Abbey last night than the Superbowl but Beyonce killed it (in my humble and musical talentless opinion) and had me up off the couch dancing with her so overall it was a great Sunday night. And I had one of these awesome crisps to make the evening even better!
This is my take on this week’s Food Matter’s Project recipe. Camilla chose this week’s recipe for Cardamom-Scented Pear Crisp. I was out of carmamom so instead I added fig and a little nutmeg and cinnamon. YUM!
And this was the perfect excuse to use my new mini cast iron pots. They were an adorable gift from my aunt for Christmas!
Pear and Fig Crisp
1 bartlett pear, diced
4 black mission figs, diced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 c oatmeal
1/4 c hazelnut flour
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
In a small bowl, combine the pear, figs, lemon juice and whole wheat pastry flour. Spoon the fruit mixture into small ramekins or pots. In another bowl combine the oatmeal, hazelnut flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter. Cut the butter into the ingredients into well combined and the size of small peas. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.

YUM! This looks really good. How was it? I have been craving figs lately, and this looks like the perfect way to use them.

It was delicious!!! I loved the pear and fig combo! It isn’t crazy sweet though so you may want to add more if needed!
I love it, Sara! Figs + hazelnut flour + gorgeous pots = perfection! Thanks for cooking this week.
Thanks Camilla! I had fun making and eating this one! Great recipe choice!
Look great Sara! I have been wanting those little pots!
Lexi! You have to get them! They are too cute and have MANY uses!
Adding the fig was definitely a great idea, and LOVE the pots- so cute!
Thanks! I can’t wait to use those pots again
This looks and sounds great, Sara! I have an idea since you are dying to use those cute pots again! Try it with the cardamom. I was so pleasantly surprised with the flavor–bet you will be too
Thanks for your great ideas. The hazelnut/fig/pear combo sounds fantastic!
