Ingredients for Apple Cranberry Pear Crisp

  • Butter

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Ground Ginger
  • Almonds
  • Oats
  • Flour
  • Dried Cranberries
  • Pear
  • Green Apples
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

How to Make Apple Cranberry Pear Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. In a separate 8-inch baking dish, combine 3 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced), 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, 2 ripe pears (peeled, cored, and sliced), ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gently toss to combine.
  4. Pour the crumble topping evenly over the fruit mixture.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly and tender. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
