Try Super Easy Shortcut Pear Crisp for a simple fall dessert that cooks while you eat dinner.

In honor of the 100 year anniversary of The National Dairy Council and the new Dairy Good Cookbook, I was challenged by my colleague and fellow RD, Kim Kirchherr, to give a personal spin to one of the recipes in the cookbook. I took the Honey-Baked Pears with Vanilla Yogurt and Granola and turned made them into a simple pear crisp with oatmeal streusel.

For this recipe, I used ripe pears that were too bruised and battered for my girls to eat whole, chopped them, and tossed with a little lemon juice. I left the peels on for ease and added fiber but if you prefer to not have the peel, take the extra step to remove. I added the pears to a square baking dish and topped with a simple oatmeal streusel of oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cold butter.
