With our recent relocation to the Northeast I've been enjoying the abundance of fall apples and pears. Our local farmer's market sells organic ones too! So I made a dessert for the family.
Ingredients:
2 to 2 1/2 cups sliced fresh pears, apples or a combination of both. I core the fruit but do not peel the skins off.
2 cups sugar, divided
4 ounces butter (about 1/2 cup)
3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk (used rice milk)
1 egg
Preparation:
Mix pears/apples with 1 cup sugar and let stand. Put butter in 2-quart casserole (8" x 8" pan) and place in 325° oven until melted. Combine all dry ingredients, including the remaining 1 cup of sugar. Mix well. Whisk together the milk and egg; slowly combine with dry ingredients to make a batter. Pour over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon pears over the batter. Do not stir. Bake at 325° for 50 to 60 minutes, or until nicely browned. Serves well with ice-cream.
