Apple Pear Crisp ~Tender apples and pears baked with a brown sugar oat topping. Serve warm for the perfect fall or winter dessert!
One of my first apple recipes every fall is some type of apple crisp. I decided to switch things up this year and add pears to it also! Apples and pears are a match made in heaven! Juicy and tender apples and pears baked with a buttery brown sugar oat topping – this is sure to be one of your favorite fall and winter desserts.
This recipe is pretty simple and straightforward. The important thing is to make sure your apples and pears are cut fairly thin so they don’t take too long to cook.
forget the vanilla ice cream. Do you see that melted ice cream river in the photo above? That is what dreams are made of.
Yield:
Tender apples and pears baked with a brown sugar oat topping. Serve warm for the perfect fall or winter dessert!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 1/2 inch deep dish pie plate (or similar sized baking dish). Set aside.
In a large bowl combine pears, apples, orange juice, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon and vanilla. Stir gently until completely combined. Dump the mixture (and any accumulated juices) into the prepared baking dish.
For the topping: In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Add melted butter and stir until combined. Using your fingers, crumble the mixture over the fruit occasionally pressing some of it together to form clumps. Bake for 45-60 minutes, until the fruit is tender (check it with a sharp knife), the top is golden brown and it is bubbling around the edges. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
