Fresh Pear Crisp

SUBMITTED BY: Mildred Sherrer PHOTO BY: Missy Anne

"Mildred Sherrer's comforting fruit crisp is a pared-down version of one her mother used to fix. 'I made it healthier by using reduced-fat margarine, fresh pears instead of canned and oats for some of the flour,' she explains from Fort Worth, Texas. As a finishing touch, she suggests topping it with fat-free yogurt or whipped cream."

Tastes good to me! I didn't use any lemon though, and the pears didn't turn brown. MORE
