    Delicious Asian Pear Crisp Recipe

    October 25, 2015 by Anna 6 Comments

    Fruit Crisps are a super simple homemade dessert to be enjoyed warm, room temperature or cold, with ice cream or without. If you have an abundance of apples or pears, make this!

    When life gives you a bucket of pears or apples....make a crisp! 

    Look no further for a dessert that is delicious and satisfying AND fairly healthy. Fruit Crisps are my new favorite sweet to bake and serve warm with a side of ice cream or low-fat frozen yogurt.

    Fruit Crisps are a super simple homemade dessert to be enjoyed warm with ice cream or cold. If you have an abundance of fruit, this is the dessert!

    Fresh fruit is the star of the show in a crisp. And when topped with a mixture that is mainly whole oats you are adding to the health power of this sweet concoction.

    The prevailing flavor accent is cinnamon, a spice with proven health benefits.

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
    • Spray an 8"x8" glass pan with non-stick baking spray or lightly butter bottom of pan.
    • Cut the fruit into bite-sized chunks.
    • Put the chunks of fruit into the prepared pan and toss with lemon juice.
    • In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg.
    • Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the fruit and toss to coat all the fruit pieces.
    • For the topping, mix together in a medium bowl the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder and sea salt.
    • Add the melted butter and stir until well incorporated.
    • Layer the topping on the fruit and spread it to evenly cover.
    • Bake for 35-45 minutes until the fruit is hot and bubbling.

    Notes

    Gr8 Baking Tip:
    Each fruit, depending on its firmness and sugar content, will need a little different cooking time. Asian pears are very firm and will probably take the full 45 minutes.
    Gr8 Do-Ahead Tip:
    This can be prepared early in the day up through Step 9, covered, and refrigerated. Before baking be sure to bring the dish to room temperature. If the dish is cold when put in the oven, the baking time will increase.

      Awesome! I had to use my Penney’s Apple Pie Spice as I was a little short of the cinnamon/nutmeg, but wow. Great recipe to have around!

      Yes, me too! The sea salt adds that little something extra that contrasts with the sweet.
