Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 medium Bosc pears

cored and thinly sliced

3 Granny Smith apples -- peeled

cored and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1/3 cup finely chopped almonds

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

2 tablespoons rum

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

***TOPPING***

2 tablespoons reduced-fat margarine -- melted

1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1/2 cup wheat germ

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

nondairy frozen dessert

(or if dairy is not a concern

vanilla nonfat frozen yogurt) -- optional

 

8 servings

 

Though pies are a wonderful finish to winter meals, many now wish to avoid

them because the pastry crusts harbor a good bit of fat. I think that

crumbles and crisps are a fine alternative, especially served warm.

 

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.

 

In a mixing bowl, combine the fruits with the next 6 ingredients and stir

together until evenly coated. Pour into a lightly oiled 9- by 13-inch

baking pan. In a small bowl, combine the melted margarine with the

remaining topping ingredients and toss to coat. Sprinkle evenly over the

fruit mixture. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the fruits are soft and

the topping is golden. If desired, serve warm in bowls over nondairy ice

cream substitute or frozen yogurt.
