How to Make Barefoot Contessa's Apple Pear And Cranberry Crisp

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and chop 3 large apples (about 3 cups) and 2 large pears (about 2 cups) into 1-inch chunks.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples and pears with 1 cup fresh cranberries, the zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Gently toss to combine.
Pour the fruit mixture into a 9x12x2-inch baking dish.
**Make the topping:** In a large bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, and 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit filling, ensuring it's completely covered.
Place the baking dish on a parchment-lined baking sheet to catch any spills.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling and tender. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
