Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 3 medium ripe pears (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar-sized dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, diced pears, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, 3 tablespoons of flour, and ground cinnamon. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
In another mixing bowl, prepare the crisp topping by combining rolled oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup of flour, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the topping mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
