Caramel Pear Crisp

Lisa over at Stop and Smell the Chocolate is having a Fall Fruits Festival week. Today it is Pear Day. I put together this recipe. One of the favors I like this time of year is Caramel. It is always thought of with Apples. Thought I would pair it with pears, now that's a pun. Also I like Apple crisp, had some at Mimi's Cafe this weekend. Boys was it good. I think Bartlett Pears are my favorite at this time of year. I hope you will enjoy this recipe. It is very sweet so a little will do or if you have a sweet tooth maybe more. With a savory dinner it is a great finish.Yields about 12 servings.
