Fresh pears. Yum. I had picked up 4 pears – 2 bartlett and 2 reds – on a whim, and when I got home, decided it was dessert-time!

I started off by peeling the pears and then slicing them fairly thin. I put them into a bowl with about a quarter cup of flour and the same of melted butter. I added in about a half-cup of brown sugar and a tsp of vanilla – and a tad bit of nutmeg. After it was all mixed, I placed it in an 8″x8″ pan and topped it with about 2 cups of pumpkin granola.

I covered it with foil and placed it into a 350° oven for about 40 minutes.

It’s a no-brainer simple concept. Just about any granola will work – as will just about any fruit.

The beauty of a dessert like this is you really can’t screw it up. It’s fruit and a bit of sugar with a topping. You can add ice cream on top, or whipped cream – or serve it as-is. Warm or cold.

Delish.
