    This has a very fine textured topping which absorbs the delicious juices from the pears, citrus zest, and nutmeg.

    Yield: Serves 6-8

    INGREDIENTS
    • 8 ripe Bosc pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
    • Finely grated zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon
    • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
    • Pinch of grated nutmeg
    • 5 tablespoons reduced-fat powdered milk
    • ¼ cup ground almonds
    • ½ cup rolled oats
    • 1 1/3 cups whole-grain flour
    • ½ cup soft dark brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

    Directions

    1 Preheat the oven to 400°F.

    2 Combine the pears with the zest, sugar, nutmeg, and ½ cup water in the bottom of a large baking dish.

    3 Mix the dry ingredients together, then rub in the butter.

    4 Sprinkle this mixture on top of the pears and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top is golden. Serve warm with low-sugar custard.
