Crisps are an easier alternative to a pie or cobbler (no pastry crust to prepare!), but just as delicious. The little black dress of the pantry, cornflakes stand in for oats in this fun variation.

Ingredients

• 3 pounds apples and pears, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, for topping
• 1 teaspoon apple pie spice, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 1/2 cups cornflakes
• 5 tablespoons butter

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F. In buttered 13-by-9-inch baking dish, toss apple and pear chunks, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp apple pie spice, and salt.

In bowl, crush cornflakes with butter, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp apple pie spice until blended. Sprinkle over fruit.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.
