Prepare the Spicy Crumb Topping and sprinkle over the pear mixture.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 40 minutes or until the pears are tender.
Cover loosely with aluminum foil after 30 minutes if the top becomes too brown.
Cool on a wire rack before serving.
SPICY CRUMB TOPPING: Combine the flour, sugar, spices and salt in a bowl.
Cut in the margarine, using a pastry blender, until the mixture is crumbly.
