How to Make Apple Pear Rum Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Add 2 medium peeled and sliced pears, 2 medium peeled and sliced apples, ½ cup fresh or frozen cranberries, and 2 tablespoons dark rum (optional).
  4. Stir gently to coat the fruit evenly with the sugar mixture.
  5. Spread the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup Kellogg's Raisin Bran cereal (or similar low-fat granola) over the fruit.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  9. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the granola layer.
  10. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the pears and apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving warm with your favorite ice cream or whipped cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
