Pear and Pistachio Crisp

This Pear and Pistachio Crisp is such a delectable dessert that you wouldn’t guess it has less sugar than most desserts we tend to dive into this time of year. The crispy crunch from the pistachios and the warm baked pears is the best combo. This Pear and Pistachio Crisp has a crunchy topping made from oats, pistachios, brown sugar, and aromatic cinnamon, and a naturally nummy sweetness from all of the chunks of baked pear. It’s got so much less sugar than a regular dessert that I even served this to my kids one morning on top of plain Greek yogurt. They went bonkers with excitement at the thought of getting dessert for breakfast!
