Gingered Pear Crisp

1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups (1/2-inch-thick) chopped peeled Bartlett pears (about 4 pears)
Cooking spray
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup regular oats
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 375°.

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring to combine. Add pears; toss gently to coat. Spoon pear mixture into a shallow 2-quart baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray.

Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal, and stir in nuts. Sprinkle flour mixture over pear mixture.

Bake at 375° for 35 minutes or until topping is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes.
