The Holidays are changing for my girls and I as we settle into the reality of a divorce. I don’t have my girls every holiday now and though that can sometimes make me very sad, it also gives me the motivation to make the ones I do have with them even more spectacular. So when I find a product that can help me make something wonderful and delicious for my girls, I am all over trying to make it something they will look back on and love one day! PAM Cooking Spray has always been a mainstay for my baking and cooking. Now they have improved their formula and they now leave 99% less residue and build up on baking dishes and pots and pans. So I thought I would try it on my Easy Apple and Pear Crisp Recipe and see if it helped save my brand new Le Creuset Pie Dish. 

I have made Apple and Pear Crisp for years now with my original recipe coming from Ina Garten and the Food Network. But with three kids and a full time blog to run, I needed a simpler recipe that I could throw together in a no time but still have the same awesome taste of. So I used the Apple and Cranberry recipe on the PAM website and modified it to what the kids and I like.

I made some modifications as I went too. I don’t have a food processor, nor did I want to wash one when I was done, so I mixed the ingredients in a bowl. I did not think it made much of a difference at all, to be honest. In addition, a little trick I used was to use the PAM Cooking Spray to moisten the mixture prior to pouring it in my dish and I think that made it even more moist and delicious.

When the crisp was cooked, I topped it with Vanilla Ice Cream and Candies Pomegranate and Walnuts that I found at the store to give it some extra crunch. It is delicious!!

But the best part is that a dish that usually has bits a pieces that stick to the dish, and a residue that lingers no matter how I scrub, came out to serve easily and cleaned up to like new. I really think this new formula is going to save my dishes this holiday season by not only providing great flavor, but also helping me keep my dishes like new!

Start all of your baking off right with the newly improves PAM Cooking Spray that leaves 99% less residue on your favorite dishes. Plus, with ZERO calories, it is a great way to flavor a dish with no added ounces to your waist.
