How to Make Apple Pear Cranberry Crisp
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and chopped apples (4 medium), pears (2 medium), and cranberries (1 cup).
- 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.
- Pour the fruit mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- 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).
- Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit filling.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
