How to Make Harvest Pear Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a 2-quart baking dish, gently toss 4 cups peeled and sliced pears with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup Splenda (or other sugar substitute), 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pears and toss gently to coat.
  5. Lightly spoon 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour into a dry measuring cup.
  6. In a food processor, combine the flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pulse twice or until combined.
  7. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Pulse 6 times, or until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Add 1 cup rolled oats and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Pulse twice to combine.
  9. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pear mixture.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the topping is golden brown.
  11. Let cool for 20 minutes on a wire rack before serving.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature with sugar-free ice cream (optional).
