Pear And Maple Crumble Food

INDIVIDUAL PEAR CRUMBLES WITH MAPLE YOGURT

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.

PEAR MAPLE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat a 9-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven.
• Add the flour, pears, baking powder and salt to a food processor. Pulse 2 to 3 times to combine. Add 5 tablespoons butter, pulsing until it resembles a coarse meal. Pour in the half-and-half and 2 tablespoons maple syrup and pulse until just combined. Transfer to a floured work surface and roll the dough into a square about 1/2-inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass works, too), cut 8 biscuits, re-rolling if necessary.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the hot skillet. Swirl the skillet to coat the bottom and sides with butter, then pour the butter into a bowl and mix with the remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Add the biscuits to the skillet and brush them each with a little of the maple butter, saving the rest for finishing.
• Bake until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Brush the remaining maple butter on the biscuits and let them cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
