Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 medium Pears (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 cup Cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (cold and diced)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, pears, and cranberries.
Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the fruit. Toss until well coated and evenly distributed.
Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Add the cold, diced butter to the oat mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse sand.
If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or custard for a festive treat!
