4-6 pears, cored and sliced into about 1/2 inch slices

1 cup fresh cranberries

1 tbs lemon juice

1 tbs cornstarch

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/3 cup sugar or equivalent sugar substitute

1/3 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tbs flaxseed, ground

1/2 cup rolled oats (not instant)

1/4 cup chopped almonds (not roasted or salted)

 

Toss pears and cranberries in lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Mix together cornstarch, sugar (I used baking splenda in one batch, sugar in the other and could not taste the difference), with pumpkin pie spice and toss the fruit in that, coating them well.

 

Put mixture into a baking dish that has been prepared with Pam.

 

Mix brown sugar, flaxseed, cinnamon, oats, and flour. Mix well then add nuts. Sprinkle over the pears.

 

Bake at 375 for 40 minutes.

 

Note that this is very low fat. Butter has been removed, sugar has been reduced. Pears are sweet enough so you don't need as much sugar. I also one time made this with Chai spice and it was amazing. Substitute tart cherries for cranberries, or use craisins but note it does add more sugar.
