Ingredients

  • 1 can (16 ounces) sliced pears
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped almonds, optional

Method

  • Drain pears, reserving juice. Divide the pears among six greased 6-oz. custard cups. Spoon 1 tablespoon reserved juice into each cup. (Discard remaining juice or save for another use.)
  • In a bowl, combine the flours, brown sugar, lemon zest and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in almonds if desired. Sprinkle over pears. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
