Baked Pear Ginger Cobbler Whole Grain Goodness Recipes

BAKED PEAR & GINGER COBBLER -WHOLE GRAIN GOODNESS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Prepare the crumble topping by combining the first six ingredients and blending with a fork until moistened.
• Prepare the pears by peeling and then slicing the pears (discard the core) and tossing with lemon, white flour and if desired, the 2 tbsp of sugar. (I have made it without this added sugar, because my pears were nice and sweet by themselves).
• Spray a shallow dish with butter flavored cooking spray, then layer the pears evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the pears.
• Bake about 30-35 minutes on center oven rack until the crumble is a golden brown.
• This is best served slightly warm or at room temperature. I finish with a dollop of freshly whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream and watch it dissappear!
• Enjoy and be blessed.
