ingredients
-
Crisp
- 4 cups pears, diced with skin on
- 3 cups apples, diced with skin on
- 12 prunes, use fresh if possible and cut into fourths
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
- cooking spray (I use butter-flavor)
-
Topping
- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1⁄4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 dash salt
- 5 tablespoons light butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
directions
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- To prepare filling, coat an 11x17 baking dish with cooking spray. Toss all the crisp ingredients in a large bowl until well combined- spoon into the baking dish and pack it down.
- To prepare topping, mix all dry ingredients in a medium bowl, then add in butter cutting in with a pastry cutter, fork, or just mix it in with the tips of your fingers until the whole mixture becomes crumbly but will stick together if you press it between your fingers.
- Sprinkle the topping over the fruit in the baking dish. Spray the topping lightly with cooking spray and back for 50 minutes or until the topping is browned.
- Let it cool at least 30 minutes, then serve. It is great accompanied by fatfree vanilla yogurt, fatfree whipped topping or light ice cream.

Welcome to my page!
I live in Central Washington State with my husband and Golden Retriever, Hallie. I'm back in my hometown after earning my Bachelor's Degree, and I work at a Brokerage firm.
I've loved cooking my whole life, and really delved into it during high school when I got put in charge of cooking for my family of seven, who were all picky eaters or had dietary restrictions. I really like to experiment in the kitchen- its one place where my creativity can really flow. I rarely measure ingredients unless I'm baking- but I occasionally bust out the scales, spoons, and cups so I can post accurate recipes.
Nowadays I cook lightened versions of my favorites. I joined Weight Watchers in April 2007 and have lost 40 lbs on the program- it has really changed my life. I recently started working as a receptionist for Weight Watchers meetings on top of my full time job because I enjoy the program so much. WW has helped out my Hubby, too- He has lost around 30 lbs as well just by eating my lighter cooking :) I like the challenge of making healthy but delicious food.
My favorite TV Chef is Alton Brown- I own all of his cookbooks, and like how he has a reason for everything he does. Plus, I like to jerry-rig things and he's a sort of MacGyver in the kitchen.
My biggest challenge in cooking is making food that appeals to me while not disgusting my husband. He likes very simple, and somewhat bland foods. He hates garlic and onions, so I've really had to scale back there, though I won't give them up completely. I love to try new flavors and cuisines, while he would be happy eating Hamburger Helper.
I'm just getting in to baking bread. I've tried using my KitchenAid mixer and actually prefer doing it by hand- nothing better than hot bread fresh out of the oven!
I'm also a regular poster in the exercise/High activity forum since I started running earlier this year. My plan is to participate in all our local fun-runs.
