Easy Fruit Bake

This is a simple way to satisfy a sweet tooth without consuming a lot of fat or calories. The final product ends up being similar in consistency and taste to pie filling, and is great served with vanilla frozen yogurt!

Ingredients

3 pears (any variety) chopped

3 apples (any variety) chopped

1 cup grapes (red seedless work best)

1/2 Tbsp. butter

1 Tbsp. sugar

Cinnamon to taste

 1. Roughly chop apples and pears. This time I used Bosc pears and Gala apples. I tend to remove the skin from the pears, but not the apples, although the skin is perfectly safe to eat if you enjoy the texture. Remove stems from grapes.

 2. Place all ingredients in a baking dish. This could also be done in a slow cooker. Make sure there's some depth to the dish as this recipe produces a fair amount of liquid as it cooks.

3. Add butter, sugar and cinnamon. Cover fruit with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 2 hours, or until fruit is easily pierced with a fork.

4. Enjoy!

Easiest Dessert You've Never Tried

Banana & Peanut Butter "Ice Cream"

1. Slice 2 bananas into 1/4 inch rounds and place them in the freezer. I usually put them on a metal cake pan because they freeze a little faster than just putting them in a plastic sandwich bag.

2. Place frozen sliced bananas into a food processor.

3. Pulse until bananas have a silky appearance. I always add one tablespoon of peanut butter, but it tastes great on its own!

4. Serve immediately. This does not store well, so a good rule of thumb is two bananas = one large bowl of "ice cream."
