3 cups brown rice, cooked

2 cups pears, peeled, diced

1 cup cranberries, chopped

1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed, divided

1/3 cup flour, divided use

1/4 cup rolled oats

3 tbsp butter, add 1 more tbsp if needed

1/4 cup pecans, chopped

1/4 cup coconut, flaked

Making the filling

Coat a 2-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Combine rice, pears, cranberries, 1/3 cup sugar, and 2 tbsp flour. Place filling in the baking dish and set aside.

Making the topping

Combine remaining flour and sugar with the oats in a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.

Blend in the pecans and coconut well. Sprinkle the crisp topping over the filling.

Bake the crisp at 375°F for 25 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve warm.

If you are using a microwave oven:

Use a microwave-proof baking dish. Cook on high for 4 to 5 minutes, rotating the dish once as it cooks.

Let stand for 5 minutes before serving warm.
