Fresh Pear Crisp
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 45 min.
YIELD: 9 servings.
Mildred Sherrer's comforting fruit crisp is a pared-down version of one her mother used to fix. "I made it healthier by using reduced-fat margarine, fresh pears instead of canned and oats for some of the flour," she explains from Fort Worth, Texas. As a finishing touch, she suggests topping it with fat-free yogurt or whipped cream.
