Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 8x8 baking dish with
Vegetable Oil Cooking Spray (as needed)
and set aside.

All-Purpose Flour (40 g)

,
Ground Ginger (as needed)
, and
Unsalted Butter (55 g)
into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Step 3
Transfer to a bowl and with your fingers, work the mixture, squeezing to create a lumpy, crumbly texture. Add the
Sliced Almonds (70 g)
and toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to top the crumble.
Step 4
Peel the
Bartlett Pears (5)
and halve them with a sharp knife. Cut the halves in half again and remove the core and stem. Cut pears into thin slices lengthwise.
Step 5
Transfer the pears to a large bowl and sprinkle with the juice from the

In a small bowl, mix the

and
Corn Starch (2 g)
together to form a slurry. Pour over the pears and toss to coat the pears with the slurry and spices. Transfer the pears to the prepared baking dish.
Step 9
Liberally sprinkle the almond topping over the pear filling. Bake for 50 minutes to an hour until the fruit is tender, but not mushy and the topping is a warm, golden color.

If the fruit is tender, but the topping is pale, place it under the broiler for 4 to 5 minutes to get a little color.
