Asian Pear Crisp

This is a nice comfort food dessert on a cold winter's day. Serve it plain or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients: 
3 cups chopped asian pear (you just need 1 pear !)

1 tbsp flour
1/4  cup sugar
1 tsp  cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
pinch of salt

Cut the pear in small pieces as it is quite firm. Toss together with the rest of the ingredients and put in a buttered baking dish, 8 X 8 or similar. 

Use a pastry blender  to cut together:

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup margarine
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsps ground flax (optional)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Sprinkle over top of fruit and press lightly.
Bake for 35 minutes in a 375 F oven.

It smells so good!
