Meet the Cook: Since he's a livestock truck driver, my husband often starts work around 2 or 3 a.m. A piece of this crisp will keep him going till breakfast. And our two boys - ages 10 and 7 - love to have it for dessert and in their school lunches. -Joanne Korevaar, Burgessville, Ontario

I replaced the quick cooking oats and sugar with maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal and 2 tbs. splenda and omitted the sugar in the pears. My pears were so ripe and sweet they didn't need anymore sweetner. It was great for breakfast and dessert. My diabetic husband loved it.

This recipe is comfort food at it's best!!! I didn't have all the pears called for so I substituted 3 medium Granny Smith apples for some of the pears. I made the crisp topping the day before and kept it in the refrigerator to save some time & used apple pie spice instead of the individual spices called for in the recipe. I couldn't be more happy with the results :)

This recipe is definitely a keeper for me! I did turn my oven to broil for a few minutes at the end to get the topping just a tad bit crisper in the middle. This was delicious!

After canning pears all weekend, this was a delicious reward with some vanilla ice cream. Just the right amount of sweetness, and very easy to make. It's a winner
