Pear and apple crisp is one of my favorite desserts. In fact I am eating it right now as I write this post. And it is Y U M M Y!

A lot of apple crisp recipes call for lots of butter and sugar. I try to avoid butter and keep my sugar intake to a minimum. So I nixed the butter and used honey instead of the sugar. Pears and apples are so sweet on their own they really don’t need the extra sugar.

I topped mine with a little vanilla ice cream and cinnamon.  That is completely optional, but highly recommended 🙂
