Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe pears
- 3 whole apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
Peel, core, and slice the pears and apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place the fruit into a large mixing bowl.
Add lemon juice, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the fruit. Toss well to coat evenly. Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
If using chopped nuts, stir them into the topping mixture. Add vanilla extract and gently mix until distributed evenly.
Distribute the topping evenly over the fruit layer in the baking dish, covering as much of the fruit as possible.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to thicken slightly.
Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
