10 fresh pears, peeled, cut into 3/4 inch thick slices
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
6 Tbsp butter, melted and divided
12 vanilla wafers, coarsely crushed
1/4 c sliced almonds
Instructions
Mix dry pudding mix, 1/4 c sugar and cinnamon until blended. Toss fruit with 1/4 cup butter in large bowl. Add pudding mixture; mix lightly. Spoon into slow cooker; cover with lid. Cook on low for 3-4 hours.
Combine crushed wafers, nuts, remaining sugar and butter in shallow microwaveable dish. Microwave on high 1 min; stir. Microwave 1-1/2 to 2 min or until golden brown, stirring every 30 seconds. Cool.
Sprinkle dessert with crumb mixture just before serving.
Tips-
Top each serving with dollop of thawed whipped topping.
For best results, do not cook this dessert on the high heat setting since it tends to break the fruit down too quickly resulting in fruit with a mushy texture.
When purchasing pears, look for pears with a fragrant aroma and coloring characteristic of their variety. Skins should be free from cuts and bruises. A ripe pear is one that feels slightly firm but gives a bit to gentle pressure at the stem end.
