Freezing I’m wondering if I can prep this in advance and freeze it after it’s baked and all and only rewarm and serve at a later time. Can the pear be frozen or won’t b the same? Please let me know. Thanks!

Delicious! I made this recipe for Shabbos Tu Bshvat. I didn’t have cranberries, so I used blueberries and cherries, it came out delicious. I also added cinnamon and vanilla sugar to the crumbs to give it a bit of flavor.

My guests really enjoyed it 🙂
