Cranberry Pear Crunch With Granola Topping

Submitted by januarybride

"A healthified recipe from eatbetteramerica. Sounds wonderful. They recommend serving it with frozen yogurt for a dreamy dessert, but I always like my crunch "as is". Feel free to make this vegan by using vegan margarine and you can also sub out Splenda for the granulated sugar!!!"
