INGREDIENTS
¼ cup butter or margarine
1 cup crushed gingersnaps
½ cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons flour
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling

In small glass bowl or other microwave-safe dish, melt butter on HIGH, 1 ½ minutes. Stir in crushed gingersnaps, pecans and flour. In an 8- or 9-inch glass pie plate or other shallow microwave-save dish, spread pie filling evenly. Cook on HIGH 2 minutes. Arrange grapefruit sections over filling; press sections halfway into filling. Sprinkle evenly with crumb mixture, leaving a 1-inch border around the outside. Cook, uncovered, 3 minutes; let stand 1 minute. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or heavy cream.
