Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears and cranberries. Add the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the crumble topping by combining the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the melted butter into the crumble topping mixture and stir until it resembles coarse crumbs. If using nuts, stir them in at this point.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish, ensuring the fruit is fully covered.
Bake in the preheated oven 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 cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
