How to Make Pear And Ginger Crisp With Spiced Whipped Cream

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Toast 1 cup pecan halves in the oven for 8 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped pecans.
In a separate large bowl, combine 4 cups peeled and sliced pears, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Pour the pear mixture into a 2-2 ½ quart baking dish.
Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the pears.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender. Let cool slightly before serving.
While the crisp is baking, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add ¼ cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg. Whip until stiff peaks form.
