8 pears (I like organic dAnjou), peeled, cored, and sliced
3/4 cup cranberries (I like organic), whole
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
2 tablespoon liquid sweetener (like maple syrup, brown rice syrup, corn syrup)
pinch salt
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup oats (old fashioned)
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1/3 cup margarine
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 375F, lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish. In a large bowl mix the pears and cranberries with the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of flour, sweetener, and salt. Mix just enough to coat evenly. In another bowl mix 1/2 cup flour, oats, walnuts, vegan brown sugar, vegan margarine, and salt until it resembles crumbs. I use my hands. Put the fruit in an even layer in the pan and sprinkle the topping over it. Bake until browned and crisp on top and bubbly on the edges.
