This recipe is adapted to use less sugar from the Pear Crisp recipe out of The New American Plate Cookbook<\/a>
, pg. 248. I added more spices in place of the sugar. The original recipe also calls for 6 pears, which I replaced with 4 pears and 2 apples.
It is delicious!!!<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup rolled oats
3 tbs whole wheat flour
4 tbs unbleached all purpose flour
1 tbs wheat germ
2 tbs packed dark brown sugar
1\/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbs canola oil
4 pears, peeled, if desired, cored and cubed into 1 inch pieces
2 apples, peeled, if desired, cored and cubed into 1 inch pieces
1 tbs lemon juice
1\/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1\/16 tsp ground cloves<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 375. Coat an 8 or 9 inch round or square pan with canola oil or non-stick cooking spray. In a bowl, combine pears, apples, lemon juice, 1\/2 tbs of the dark brown sugar, 2 tbs of all purpose flour, nutmeg and cloves. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan.
In a food processor, pulse the oats for 15 seconds. Add whole wheat flour, 2 tbs of all purpose flour, wheat germ, 1 1\/2 tbs of brown sugar, and cinnamon. Process for 15 seconds. Drizzle in canola oil and process for 30 seconds. Cover top of pear mixture with oat mixture, pressing down gently. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the topping is brown and the pears are bubbling. Serve hot.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have a blood sugar issue, like I do, this would be really good served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.<\/p>\n
