Directions:
Place a broiler rack about 3 inches from source of heat. Heat the broiler.
Arrange the pears in a shallow, flameproof dish in concentric circles, slightly overlapping each other. Sprinkle with the brown sugar.
Broil until the brown sugar has carmelized and pears begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with the almonds and broil for about 1 minute or until almonds turn golden.
Serve warm, topping each serving with a dollop of vanilla yogurt.


Options:
Use apples instead of pears.

Use pine nuts or chopped walnuts instead of almonds.

Use plain, lowfat yogurt or other flavored yogurt.

Makes 4 servings.
