Did you know?

Pears are an excellent source of fiber!

They contain 6 grams in just one pear which is about 20 percent of our daily recommendation.

Did you know?

CINNAMON is one of the most “comfort food”-like spices – and it’s surprisingly packed with nutrition.

Cinnamon has one of the highest antioxidant concentrations of ALL herbs and spices … and is linked with better blood sugar management.

Researchers are exploring cinnamon’s effect in battling diabetes, heart disease, viruses such as HIV, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, and so much more!

Add cinnamon to your beverages and desserts … put it in your chilis and stir-fries … or give your yogurt or chia pudding a boost with it.

When you’re shopping, be sure to look for Ceylon cinnamon (vs. Cassia). It’s safer and contains more of the compound (cinnamaldehyde) that makes cinnamon so nutritious.

The sweetness factor is such a PERSONAL preference, so please consider this when adding your maple syrup or honey.

Depending on your taste preferences, you may want a bit more or less.

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe but firm pears

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/2 cup unsalted raw pecans or walnuts

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees f.

Rinse and peel your pears. Remove the stems. Slice the pears (avoiding the core) into pieces about ⅓-inch thick.

Place your pears in an ungreased pie dish and toss them with cinnamon.

Give your pecans a rough chop.

In a mixing bowl, combine your pecans and all remaining ingredients with a fork.

Sprinkle your pears with your topping mixture, spreading it evenly.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling, and the topping is crisp and golden.

Let your pear crumble cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
