Soft Pear and Cranberry Squares Recipe
Aside from the egg, this is otherwise dairy-free!
Use very ripe pears for best results.
This recipe is for a 13 x 8" traybake (32 squares)
Cover the top with baking paper or foil during the last 10 minutes to avoid the top over-browning.

Ingredients
- 200g very ripe pears, peeled, cored and diced
- 100g fresh cranberries
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored and diced
- 1 tbsp honey
- 125ml grapeseed oil
- 1 egg
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 75g sugar
- 250g plain flour
- 1.5 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
Directions
- Put the diced apple with the honey in a saucepan with just enough water to cover. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until soft enough to mash. The water should be pretty much absorbed. Set aside to cool.
- Beat the egg with the sugar. Add in the oil, lemon juice and zest, followed by the mashed apple.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift in the flour with the soda and powder. Fold in the diced pear and cranberries.
- Tip the wet mixture into the dry and combine well.
- Pour into a lined tin and bake at 170 degrees C for about 40-45 minutes, until lightly golden. Cover the top with baking paper or foil during the last 10 minutes.
