How to Make Apple Pear Cranberry Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and chopped apples (4 medium), pears (2 medium), and cranberries (1 cup).
  3. Add the orange zest (1 orange), orange juice (1/4 cup), brown sugar (3/4 cup), flour (1/4 cup), cinnamon (1 teaspoon), nutmeg (1/4 teaspoon), and salt (1/4 teaspoon). Toss gently to coat.
  4. Pour the fruit mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the flour (1 cup), rolled oats (1 cup), brown sugar (1/2 cup), chopped pecans or walnuts (1/2 cup), cold butter (1 cup, cut into small pieces), and salt (1/4 teaspoon).
  6. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit filling.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional).
