Pear and Berry Crisp

WHY IT’S LIGHT Fruit makes a naturally healthy dessert; here, lightly sweetened fresh pears and berries are embellished with only a thin layer of crunchy oatmeal topping. The topping can be made ahead and chilled until ready to use; refrigerate it in an airtight container up to five days.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 8

Ingredients

1 bag (12 ounces) frozen mixed berries (do not thaw)
3 pounds ripe pears (5 to 7), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Oatmeal Topping (recipe follows)
Vanilla frozen yogurt, for serving (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Spread frozen berries in a single layer on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet; thaw 30 minutes at room temperature.

    Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine thawed berries, pears, lemon juice, sugar, and flour; toss well. Transfer to a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with chilled topping.

    Step 3

    Bake until fruit is tender and topping is golden, about 45 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes. Serve warm with frozen yogurt, if desired.
