Pear and Cranberry Crisp

Finally! I managed to snap a few pictures of my new favorite dessert, the Weight Watchers Pear Cranberry Crisp. You will never make another crisp again.

Pear Cranberry Crisp
(Adapted from Weight Watchers Healthy Cooking Basics)

1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats (not instant)
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
4 tbsp cold, unsalted butter, diced
1 tsp water
3 pounds (about 4 medium sized) pears, peeled and thinly sliced
3/4 cup fresh cranberries
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 7x11 inch baking dish with nonstick, butter-flavored spray.

To make topping, combine 1/2 cup flour, oats, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and salt in medium bowl. Add butter and pinch with your fingers to form coarse crumbs. Sprinkle with water and firmly press mixture to form larger clumps.

Combine pears, cranberries, remaining 1/4 cup sugar (I used less, about an 1/8 cup), 2 tbsp flour, ginger, and vanilla in a large bowl, mix well. Transfer to baking dish and sprinkle topping evenly over fruit. Bake 55 minutes until golden brown and filling is bubbling.
