Description

The autumnal bounty of apples and pears makes this maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice-flavored crisp recipe a fall natural.

Ingredients

non-stick cooking spray
2 apples, cored and diced
2 pears, cored and diced
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 tablespoons butter, softened

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a glass baking dish with cooking spray.
2 Mix apples, pears, raisins, and chia seeds in the baking dish. Drizzle apple cider and maple syrup over the fruit mixture and stir gently to coat.
3 Mix oats, wheat germ, brown sugar, flax seed, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Mash butter into the oats mixture with a fork until the mixture is uniform in texture; spread atop the fruit mixture. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and crisp, 35 to 40 minutes.
