How to Make Autumn Fruit Crisp
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar, ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon anise seeds, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger until well combined.
- Cut in ½ cup (113g) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, gently toss together 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced), 2 medium pears (peeled, cored, and sliced), and 1 cup (100g) fresh or frozen cranberries with the sugar-cornstarch-cinnamon mixture.
- Pour the fruit mixture into a 10-inch round baking dish (approximately 2-inch deep).
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
- Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or frozen yogurt.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
