    🍐 GINGER PEAR CRISP 

    This quick Ginger Pear Crisp is a perfect Thanksgiving dessert packed with juicy pears, a crisp oat topping, and a touch of spice from the ginger. Talk about incredible flavor! Cooked in a cast-iron skillet, this may be the cutest dessert I’ve had in a while. 

     

    ALL YOU NEED:

    ✨ Bosc pears

    ✨ Fresh ginger

    ✨ Old fashioned or rolled oats

    ✨ Honey

    ✨ Lemon

    ✨ Cinnamon

    ✨ Vanilla Greek yogurt

    Traditional crisps require TONS of brown sugar, butter, flour, and all sorts of goodness. This is definitely the lazy, healthier version, but I PROMISE it's just as delicious! 

     

    BENEFITS

    ✨ Loaded with antioxidants 

    ✨ Packed with fiber

    ✨ Easy way to eat more oats

    Instructions

    • Heat 2 tablespoon butter in a cast iron skillet. Meanwhile, dice pears and set aside.
    • Add oats, honey, and cinnamon; cook until oats are toasted and ingredients start to "clump". Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
    • In the same skillet, add pears, ginger, lemon, and vanilla extract (use additional butter if needed). Stir until coated and cook until pears are tender, about 6-8 minutes.
    • Once tender, spread pears so they cover the bottom of the skillet. Top with oat mixture and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
    • Remove from skillet and serve with a scroop of vanilla Greek yogurt or ice cream!

    Notes

    You may need to double the recipe if using a large cast iron skillet. You can also use a baking dish and cook in the oven.
