How to Make Baked Winter Pear Apple Crisp

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Peel, core, and slice 3 large pears and 4 medium apples into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss with 1 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent browning.
3. Spread the fruit evenly in a lightly buttered 9-inch baking pan or deep pie plate.
4. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice.
5. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is tender. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a splash of milk.
