Apple and Pear Crisp -- e-w
Makes: 8 servings

Preparation Time: 20 min.
Bake Time: 40-50 min.

Topping:
1/2 cup Flour
2 Tbsp. Dark Brown Sugar
1/4 cup SPLENDA® Granular
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
1 pinch Nutmeg
4 Tbsp. Cold, Unsalted Butter, cut into pieces

Filling:
4 Large Macintosh or other tart apples
3 Ripe Bartlett or Anjou Pears
2 Tbsp. SPLENDA® Granular
3 Tbsp. Apple Juice Concentrate

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Lightly butter a deep 2 to 2½ quart baking dish. Set aside.

Prepare topping. Pour flour, brown sugar, SPLENDA® Granular, cinnamon and nutmeg into a medium mixing bowl. Stir well. Add butter and mix with an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, until the topping is crumbly or sandy in texture. Set aside.

Prepare filling. Peel, core and thickly slice the apples and pears. Place them in the buttered baking dish. The fruit should be at least 2½ inches deep in the pan. Add more fruit, if necessary. Add SPLENDA® Granular and apple juice concentrate. Toss until coated. Cover with the topping.

Bake in the preheated oven 40-50 minutes or until fruit is tender and the topping has browned.

Serving suggestion: Serve warm with low fat vanilla frozen yogurt.
