Cranberry Pecan Pear Crumble
This Cranberry Pecan Pear Crumble (or pear crisp as some may call it) is an easy pear and cranberry dessert that is "baked" in the slow cooker.
Ingredients
- 6 pears, peeled, cored and sliced
- 2 cups cranberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 orange, Grated zest only
- 2 tablespoons orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Demerara sugar, or other raw cane sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter
- Sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Lightly grease the stoneware of a medium sized (approximately 4 quart) slow cooker.
- In the prepared stoneware, combine pears, cranberries, sugar and orange zest and juice. Stir to combine.
Topping:
- In a bowl, combine pecans, whole wheat and all-purpose flours, rolled oats, sugar and cinnamon. Using a pastry blender, 2 knives or your fingers, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over fruit.
- Place a clean tea towel, folded in half (so you will have 2 layers), over top of the stoneware to absorb moisture. Cover and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours, until fruit is hot, tender and juicy.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
