This is the most delicious dessert, and easy to put together, a great ending to any meal. This can also be made with apples, but use a firm apple such as Granny Smith for this recipe. I usually stick this in the oven, and bake it as we are having dinner, and serve it with ice cream as a topping...so yummy! Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
2/3 cup white sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup milk or 1/2 cup half-and-half cream |
4 medium pears, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (about 2 cups) or 1 (16 ounce) can pears, drained and chopped (fresh pears are better to use!) |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup butter |
3/4 cup boiling water |
Directions:
1. Set oven to 375 degrees.
2. Lightly spray a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
3. In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, white sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
4. Add in the milk; beat until smooth (add a little more milk or cream if the mixture is too thick).
5. Stir in the chopped pears and pecans.
6. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish.
7. In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter and boiling water; (this mixture will be thin, but will incorporate into the cake while baking) mix well, pour evenly over the batter.
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
9. Serve hot with ice cream or Cool Whip topping (I prefer it with vanilla ice cream!).
