Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 3 medium pears (preferably Bartlett or Anjou)
- 1 cup fresh cranberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Peel and core the apples and pears, then slice them into bite-sized chunks. Place the fruit in a large mixing bowl.
Add the cranberries, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the bowl with the fruit. Toss everything together until evenly coated, then spread the fruit mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, chopped pecans, and kosher salt. Mix well.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the oat mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the honey and vanilla extract until the topping is slightly sticky and clumps together easily.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the fruit in the baking dish, covering it completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
Allow the fruit bake to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
