Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ripe pear
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup granola
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- vanilla yogurt or whipped cream (optional for serving)
Instructions
Wash and core the pear, then dice it into small bite-sized pieces.
Place the diced pear into a microwave-safe bowl or ramekin.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the pear pieces, then sprinkle with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir to evenly coat the fruit.
Microwave the pear mixture on high for 2 minutes, or until the pear is soft and bubbling. Carefully remove from the microwave using oven mitts.
In a separate microwave-safe small bowl, combine the granola and butter. Microwave for 15-20 seconds, stirring halfway through, until the butter melts and lightly coats the granola.
Sprinkle the granola mixture over the softened pears.
Microwave the assembled pear crisp for an additional 30 seconds to warm everything through.
Let cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. Optionally, top with a dollop of vanilla yogurt or whipped cream for an extra treat.
