Easy Pear Crisp

This is from the kitchen of my co-worker Cheryl Hoefler of Prairie City. She canned some pears last year and used those in this recipe - delicious comfort food! So glad she shared this at the potluck we had at work!

Easy Pear Crisp

1/2 C. uncooked regular oats
1/4 C. firmly packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp. cold butter
1 14-15 oz. can sliced pears, drained
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
cooking spray

1. Preheat oven to 375 F.

2. Combine first five ingredients in a bowl, and cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Combine pear and juice; toss well. Spoon pear mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, already coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle oat mixture over pear mixture. Bake at 375 F for 20 minutes. Makes four servings.

Tip: I you prefer fresh pears, try three red anjou pears, peeled and sliced.
