Ingredients
Topping
- 1 stick (1⁄2 cup) salted

- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose

Filling

- Pears, peeled and

- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a cast iron skillet with cooking spray.
- Place peeled, sliced pears and apples in a large bowl. Add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1⁄4 teaspoon salt; toss to coat.
- Transfer pears and apples to the prepared cast iron skillet.

- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Top with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce, if desired!
Chef’s Tips
This is a CSG favorite! It’s easy, kid approved, nutritious & delicious! This recipe is also gluten free, paleo, and Whole30 approved. You can use sweet potatoes or regular potatoes. For the chicken, have some fun with it. Grill it, bake it, braise it, or slow cooker shred it. Whatever is convenient for your needs, or fun for the family to make together. Have fun with the toppings. This is also delicious with organic sour cream and shredded cheese. Corn, black beans, and avocado make for a great vegan alternative. Add a side salad or steamed broccoli for added nutrition!
