Dairy Free-Sugar Free-Comfort filled Deliciousness
~INGREDIENTS~
1 cooking Spray
8 Apples Approx
4-6 Pears Approx
2 tsp. Lemon Juice
1/4 Cup. Succanat
Topping
1Large Egg
3/4 Cup. Succanat
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 TBSP. Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. Cloves
1 1/2 Cup. Old Fashioned Oats
6 TBSP. Earth Balance Buttery Spread.
Instructions~
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat a 9- X 13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Slice Apples and Pears into approx 1 inch thick slices. Place apple and pear slices in a Large bowl. Toss with lemon juice and Succanat; set aside.
Make topping, in another medium bowl, beat the egg. Add succant, buttery spread, salt and spices; mix to combine. Add oats; mix well.
Pour fruit into prepared baking dish and evenly sprinkle oat mixture on top. Bake until fruit starts to bubble and topping starts to brown, about 45 to 50 minutes. Allow crisp to cool a little before serving!
Notes*The Apples and Pears Will Cook Down so make sure you fill the pan Full of the fruit.
The longer the crisp is cooled, the more the fruit juices will be absorbed. If the crisp is cut after two hours, the fruit will be a compote-consistency. Let it sit longer and it will become quite firm.
Peeling the fruit is optional.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger for a more robust spice flavor.
Try this recipe with other types of fruit: three pounds of pitted, quartered Italian plums also make a lovely crisp.
