Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC). Lightly coat a 2-quart baking dish with vegetable cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooked brown rice, diced peeled pears, chopped cranberries, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons flour. Mix until evenly distributed.
  3. Transfer the rice and fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, remaining flour, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, and 1/4 cup flaked coconut.
  5. Cut in 3 tablespoons of butter or margarine using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the oat crumb topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling and thoroughly heated.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
