Peckish Sister from Central, FL
This was a great fruity dessert and would be perfect in the autumn. I enjoyed cooking with a whole vanilla bean and filling the kitchen with its aroma. I did not care for the sand-like consistency of the topping; I would have liked it better if it had stuck together into clumps. I used Bartlett pears (my favorite) and had German pear brandy on hand, but substituted pecans for the almonds. I made 4 individual crisps (instead of 6) and they turned out perfectly, even baking just right in the allotted time! Each of the 4 was really 2 servings however.
