Warm Winter Desert- Pear Blueberry Crisp

Pear Blueberry Crisp

This recipe is an adaptation of many 'crisp' recipes. Made a with a little less sugar, a little less butter and whole wheat flour. I used the fruits I had in my kitchen to make a delicious treat.

1 cup quick cooking rolled oats

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

3 Tbsp melted butter

1/4 cup chopped walnuts
