Red Wine Pear Crisp With Spiced Streusel
- Streusel:
- 2.25 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup regular oats
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- Filling:
- 2/3 cup cabernet sauvignon or other dry red wine
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 4 peeled Bosc pears, cored and thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- Cooking spray
- Remaining ingredients:
- 3/4 cup frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping, thawed
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- To prepare streusel, weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, regular oats, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon allspice, and salt in a medium bowl. Add butter, stirring with a fork until crumbly. Set aside.
- To prepare filling, combine wine and granulated sugar in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium. Add lemon rind, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, and sliced pears to pan, stirring to coat; simmer for 15 minutes or until the pears are tender.
- Spoon pear mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle streusel evenly over pear mixture. Bake at 350u0b0 for 30 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned. Serve with whipped topping. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, if desired.
