Pear And Golden Raisin Crisp

Scripture tells us that the state of an unconverted man is this: he sees no great felicity in the love and communion of God in the life to come, which may draw his heart thither from this present world; but he lives to his carnal self, or to the flesh; and the main bent of his life is, that it may go well with him on earth; and that religion which he has is but a little by the by, lest he should be damned when he can keep the world no longer; so that the world and the flesh are highest in his esteem, and nearest to his heart, and God and glory stand below them, and all their service of God is but a giving him that which the world and flesh can spare. This is the case of every unconverted man; and all who are in this case are in a state of misery.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large mixing bowl, cut together the topping ingredients with 2
knives until they are well combined and crumbly. Be sure the butter  is
evenly distributed in the mixture. If desired, freeze for up to 3
months, or use immediately.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In
another large mixing bowl,  combine the sugar and the tapioca and toss
until evenly mixed. Add  the pears and toss until they are evenly
coated with the mixture. Mix  in the raisins. Turn the fruit mixture
into a 10 x 2inch deep round  baking dish, preferably glass. Sprinkle
the crumb mixture evenly over  the top and bake the crisp for 15
minutes, then turn the oven down to  375 degrees. Bake for 15 to 20
minutes more, or until the topping is  golden. Cool on a rack for 10
minutes, then serve warm accompanied by  a dollop of Crema, if desired.
