Serve this slimmed-down version of the classic fruit crisp with a dollop of nonfat vanilla yogurt. It takes only minutes to prepare - pop it into the oven to cook while you have dinner.

Ingredients:
3 large unpeeled Bartlett pears (about 1 1/2 pounds), cored and thinly sliced
1 package (12 ounces) frozen raspberries, thawed and drained
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
Nonfat yogurt and fresh mint (optional)

Directions:
Mix the pears, raspberries and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the sugar, the flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spoon the fruit mixture into a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish or 4 individual baking dishes.

In a bowl, rub together the oats, butter and remaining brown sugar until crumbly. Sprinkle clumps of the mixture over the fruit. Place the baking dish (or dishes) on a jelly-roll pan.

Bake at 400 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until the pears are tender and top is brown. Cool slightly. Top with yogurt and garnish with mint.
