I’ve always loved fruit desserts the best (even more than chocolate). This recipe can be whipped up quickly when the sweet tooth hits, you just have to wait out the baking. It’s a good way to get your apple a day and even is delicious cold the next day. If you think you don’t eat enough fruit, try this!
Filling:
-
2-1/2 cups pears - 2-1/2 cups apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup sugar or agave
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Topping:
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/3 cup safflower oil
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/3 cup macadamia nuts (or other nuts)
Preheat the oven to 375º. Add all of the filling ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Oil a baking pan and put the fruit mix into the pan.
In the same mixing bowl add the topping ingredients and mix well. Pour on top of the fruit in the baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes. Make sure the top is golden brown. This dessert is delicious served with non-dairy ice cream.

I was kinda wondering where the name came from! Very amsinug story. The name itself actually reminds me of the first time that I had pizza in Sweden when I was an exchange student though the outcome of my story is the opposite: pepperoni IS a vegetable. At that time I still ate meat (been a pesco vegetarian now for 8 years), and my favorite pizza topping combo then was pepperoni and green olives (I don’t think I’d ever actually had black olives before, so I didn’t think to specify when asked). My host family was ordering pizza for delivery and they asked me what I wanted. My host sister understood olives but was a little confused by the English word pepperoni. After thinking for a moment, she was like Aha! I think I know pepperoni is spicy and I was like Yes! Exactly! Well, the pizzas came, and not only was I surprised to find that I had a whole pizza for myself (Italian style with very very thin crust) on my pizza were black olives with the pits still in, and these really long, thin whole peppers (the vegetable) that in Swedish are called pepperoni !
