Fruit base
- 2 bartlet pears
- 3 granny smith apples
- 1 golden delicious apple
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ginger
- 1 dash nutmeg
-
Crisp topping
- 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄2 cup old fashioned oats (not instant)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ginger
- 3⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
- 2 tablespoons pureed pear baby food
directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Prepare an 11 by 7 baking or casserole dish with a light coating of cooking spray.
- Squeeze the juice of a half lemon in to a large bowl and add water. This will help keep the peel fruit from browning while you are peeling and cutting.
- Peel and core the fruit. Slice into thinnish slices, suggestion is to cut the pears in eighths and the apples in tenths. As you are cutting place the fruit in the bowl of water and juice.
- Mix together the remaining ingredients for the fruit layer in a small bowl. Drain the fruit and pour in the prepared baking pan. Toss together with the sugar and spice mixture.
- In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients, flour through cinnamon.
- Cut the butter into small cubes or slices into the bowl and mix with a fork breaking up the butter into small mini pea sized bits. (I find it easiest to do this by hand.) At the end, you will have a very fine crumb.
- Add in the two tablespoons of pear puree and mix, the size of the crumbs will grow now with additional moisture.
- Sprinkle the crumb coating across the top of the apples and pears.
- Bake for 45 minutes until th fruit is bubbly and the top is crisped and browned. Actual cooking time will vary according to the thinness f the slices. Check about 5 minutes before the stated cooking time.
- Serve warm or cold.

I have tried all sorts of crisps....I try not to eat to many but they are soooo good. The only thing about this recipe that I would change is using brown sugar...it is so much richer. I also like to put cream on like a bowl of cereal for breakfast but anyway you serve it whether it be whipped cream, ice cream or 1/2 1/2...crisps are one of my favorite treats.<br/><br/>TJ

I needed a crisp recipe that made large servings, but were still around 200 calories. This one fit the bill and did not disappoint. Delicious! My apples were not very flavorful, so I added extra cinnamon and ginger. I can't wait to have more, this time with a skinny cow ice cream bar slid on top of it! Yum!

<p>I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. <br /> <br />I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. <br /> <br /> <br />Some of my favorite public cookbooks include:</p>
