Ingredients
- Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) – 4 medium, peeled and sliced
- Pears (Bosc or Anjou) – 2 medium, peeled and sliced
- All-purpose flour – 1 cup
- Rolled oats – 3/4 cup
- Brown sugar – 3/4 cup, packed
- Unsalted butter – 1/2 cup (1 stick), cold and cubed
- Ground cinnamon – 1 teaspoon
- Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples and pears with the lemon juice and toss gently to coat.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Step 3: Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 4: Spread the apple and pear mixture evenly in a 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the fruit.
- Step 5: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is tender and bubbling.
- Step 6: Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Store leftover apple pear crisp in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
- For warm, melty goodness, reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
- A scoop of salted caramel ice cream elevates this crisp to a truly decadent dessert.
- To avoid a soggy bottom, be sure your fruit is well-coated with lemon juice and not overly juicy before topping.
