Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and lightly grease a baking dish (approximately 20x20 cm or 8x8 inches).
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced pears, raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. If using cinnamon, add it here. Gently toss until the fruit is evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In another bowl, mix the flour, light brown sugar, and rolled oats together. Add the cold, diced butter to the mixture and use your fingertips (or a pastry cutter) to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish, ensuring that all the fruit is covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling at the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
