Pear Apple Oatmeal Crisp
Yes, the close-up shot is dramatic. But it deserves a lovely picture because I am in love with this recipe!
I love dessert as much as the next person but my tastebuds definitely skew toward less-sweet options versus heavily-frosted, super-sugary ones. This Pear Apple Oatmeal Crisp is something I created to cut the added sugar of traditional fruit crisp recipes. Use whichever variety of apples and pears you like but I used a mixture of granny smith and honeycrisp apples and firm (not overly ripe) d’anjou pears. Serve with brunch or à la mode with ice cream for dessert.
Ingredients
fruit base
- 4 apples, peeled, cored, cut into chunks
- 4 pears, peeled, cored, cut into chunks
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
dry topping
- 2 c rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Dash of salt
- ½ c packed brown sugar
wet mixture
- 2 cups nonfat milk or almond milk
- 2 eggs
- ½ tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- Mix dry topping ingredients together and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, honey and melted butter.
- Place fruit chunks in baking dish. Spread dry mixture evenly over top.
- Pour wet mixture over fruit and dry mixture.
- Put baking dish on a cookie sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes.
- Let set/rest at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This is important so the dessert can set (and you won’t burn your tongue!)
