Ingredients

• 4 medium ripe pears
• 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cup whole-wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup skim milk or almond milk (unsweetened)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges. Place them into a medium mixing bowl along with the cranberries.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the fruit bowl. Toss to combine and set aside.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the skim milk or almond milk to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Then, mix in the olive oil or melted coconut oil.

Step 6

Pour the fruit mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out so it's level.

Step 7

Carefully spoon the batter over the fruit, spreading it lightly to cover most of the fruit.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, serve with a dollop of low-fat yogurt or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
