Ingredients:

Serving

1 can (15 oz) pear halves in juice
8 slice 100% whole wheat bread
2 tbsp apple juice
1 tbsp canola oil
2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 large eggs
2 tbsp lowfat milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped

Directions:

Drain the pear halves and reserve the liquid. Slice the pears. Combine the reserved pear liquid, cornstarch and cinnamon in a small saucepan and whisk until well blended.
Place the saucepan over mediumhigh heat, add the raisins and bring to a simmer, stirring often. Reduce the heat and continue to simmer and stir until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the pears and the nuts. Keep warm. Mix the eggs, milk, apple juice, cinnamon and vanilla in a large bowl.
Dip the bread in the egg mixture, one slice at a time, and coat evenly. Heat half the oil in a large nonstick skillet over mediumhigh heat. Cook half of the soaked bread until golden brown on both sides. Keep warm while you cook the remaining bread slices in the remaining oil. Serve with the pear topping.
