Pear Crisp

Apples can be used in place of the pears. I found this recipe in The Market Basket Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Guide. This is from New York WIC Program Farmers Market Nutrition Program. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 9

Ingredients

• 4  cups pears, thinly sliced
• 1  tablespoon  fruit juice
• 2  tablespoons sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon

• Topping

• 1⁄2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
• 1⁄4 cup flour
• 1⁄4 cup  packed brown sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3  tablespoons butter or 3  tablespoons margarine

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the pears, juice, sugar and cinnamon. Mix well. Put the mixture into a lightly greased 8-inch square baking pan.
2. In a small bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut the butter into the mixture with 2 knives or a pastry cutter until the mixture is uniformly crumbly. Sprinkle the topping over the pear mixture.
3. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
