How to Make Apple Pear Ginger Crisp

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Peel, core, and chop 4 medium apples (about 4 cups) and 4 medium pears (about 4 cups).
3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples and pears with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 cup chopped candied ginger.
4. Toss gently to coat. Pour the fruit mixture into a greased 2.5-quart casserole dish.
5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
6. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to 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 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
9. Let cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
