High fiber Nutty Apple Pear Cobbler filled with whole grains and and made with no added sugar. A healthy sweet treat you can feel good about eating!

We don’t often think of turning to dessert for nutrition, yet this unique cobbler has no added sugar, providing natural sweetness from fruit. The crunchy addition of Fiber One ^TM Original cereal deliciously supplies fiber, an essential part of a wholesome diet that most of us don’t get enough of.  This recipe has 22% Daily Value (DV) of fiber and did you know that one serving of Fiber One ^TM Original cereal provides 65% Daily Value (DV) of fiber? What a delicious way to #flauntyourfiber !

And what also makes this dessert so different is that if you have any leftover, just refrigerate it and enjoy it the next morning by adding some to your morning cereal to boost fiber further or top it with some yogurt or cottage cheese to pair it with some protein. I usually make two cobblers at a time — just to have some waiting for us in the morning!
