Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup

    old-fashioned oats

  • 3

    small Gala or Empire apples, peeled and chopped

  • 2

    medium pears, peeled and chopped

  • 1 Tbsp.

    water

  • 2 tsp.

    brown sugar

  • 1/2 tsp.

    ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp.

    ground ginger

  • 1/2 cup

    dried cranberries

  • 1/3 cup

    chunky, sweetened peanut butter

  • 3 Tbsp.

    whole wheat flour

  • 1/4 cup

    fat-free whipped cream

Directions

    1. Step 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the oats in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan. Toast them 5 to 8 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once halfway through.
    2. Step 2Meanwhile, in a 4-quart saucepan, combine the apples, pears, water, sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes or until sugar dissolves and fruit softens. Remove from the heat and stir in the cranberries. Divide the mixture among 6 shallow 12- to 16-ounce baking dishes.
    3. Step 3In a medium bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, and flour. Rub the mixture between your fingers to form small clumps then sprinkle it over the fruit mixture in the baking dishes. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until browned and bubbling. To serve, top each crisp with 1 tablespoon of whipped cream.

Tips & Techniques

Tip: If you don't have individual baking dishes, you can use one shallow 2-quart baking dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes instead.
