Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe pears
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup skim milk or almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges. Place them into a medium mixing bowl along with the cranberries.
Add the lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the fruit bowl. Toss to combine and set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the skim milk or almond milk to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Then, mix in the olive oil or melted coconut oil.
Pour the fruit mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out so it's level.
Carefully spoon the batter over the fruit, spreading it lightly to cover most of the fruit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, serve with a dollop of low-fat yogurt or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
