If anyone has any recipes for Pears please share. We have apple and pear tree's at the farm we need to make use of.
Jen, this sounds ssoooooo good!!! School used to make apple crisp, but it had oats in the topping. I think I have that topping recipe someplace, maybe it can be tweeked for us. I can't wait 'till the holidays to have a little of this & some of Sugar's pecan pie. I'll have to make these to take to my Grandma's for Thanksgiving so I can have some desert. I also can't wait to have just a taste of her Turkey dressing. She makes the absolute best dressing. YUMMY!!!!! I know I wont be able to have much, but the thaught of just a taste, OMG!!! I can't wait. (((HUGS))) Angy
