Spiced Apple and Pear Crisp


SPICED APPLE AND PEAR CRISP

This is my "healthier" alternative to the traditional calorie laden fall favorite! I used my mother's recipe as a base and played with alternative ingredients until I got it right!

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
3 ripe but firm pears, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 TBSP lemon juice
2 TBSP Stevia
1 TBSP grated ginger
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 cup whole wheat or oat flour
3/4 cup whole rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar (or to cut more calories use Stevia)
1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 7x11 baking dish with Pam. In a large bowl toss apples and pears with lemon juice, stevia, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spoon fruit mixture into dish and set aside.
In a food processor pulse oats, flour, sugar/stevia, and salt till combined. Add unsweetened applesauce and pulse again. Spread over fruit mixture and bake until tender, juices are bubbling, and topping is crisp. 45-50 minutes
