Recipe? What Recipe? Pear Crisp

Ingredients

• 4-5 pears (any variety)
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup granola cereal (any variety will do, but I like vanilla almond)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup oil (or 5 Tbsp butter or margarine)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger (optional)
• 1 lemon, juice of (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. 2

   Grease a 5x9-inch pan.

3. 3

   Peel the pears and cut the flesh into 1/4-1/2 inch slices.

4. 4

   Make a layer in the bottom of the pan.

5. 5

   If you are using the ginger and/or lemon juice, combine those with the pears and toss to coat.

6. 6

   Mix all other ingredients (including cinnamon, if desired) in a large bowl.

7. 7

   If using butter or margarine, cut them in until there are no large pieces.

8. 8

   If using oil, add enough liquid (water, lemon juice, milk, soy milk, etc.) to make the mixture hold together into clumps (about a tablespoon). It should still be a bit grainy.

9. 9

   Spread the granola mixture in an even layer over the pears and bake for 30-45 minutes.

10. 10

    If you'd like the top to be brown, turn the oven up to 400°F for the last ten minutes of the cooking time.
