Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Apples
- 3 medium-sized Pears
- 1.5 cups Cranberries
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and set aside.
Peel, core, and slice the apples and pears into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the cranberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger to the bowl with the fruits. Toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated. Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the cubes to the dry mix, and use your fingertips (or a pastry cutter) to rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix just until incorporated.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish, covering all the fruit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit mixture is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
