baci's baking - Pear Crisp

This one sure is tasty - I'm eating it as I type!! I had several left over pears from our Thanksgiving Day place cards so I went on the search for a good pear recipe and there's no better lady to get one from than Ms. Paula Deen! This recipe for Pear Crisp is so simple yet seriously delicious - enjoy!


Pear Crisp

6 large pears (about 2-1/2 pounds) peeled, cored and thinly sliced (I used my apple corer/slicer and cut those slices into three thinner slices each.)
1/4 cup warm water
1 lemon, juiced (I cheated here, too. I squeezed some lemon juice from the fridge over the pears to lightly coat them.)
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 1/2 sticks butter, melted (I subbed Earth Balance so our arteries didn't shut down immediately after eating. . . lol!)

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) Combine pears, water and lemon juice in a greased 8 by 8-inch baking pan.
3) In a bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar and cinnamon.
4) Pour in the melted butter and stir to make a crumbly mixture. Spread the topping evenly over the fruit.
5) Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until the topping is crisp and browned.


Don't believe how simple this recipe really is? Watch Paula make it herself in no time flat :o)
