Pear and Cranberry Crisp
Ingredients
5-6 large pears peeled, cored, and sliced to ¼” thick
1½ cups cranberries
2 teaspoons cornstarch
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup old-fashioned oats
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
pinch of salt
½ cup butter unsalted, cubed
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray an 11×7 inch baking dish with nonstick spray or run it with a tablespoon of melted butter on a clean paper towel; set aside.
- Peel your pears with a vegetable peeler and cut the pears into 1/4 inch thick slices excluding the core.
- Add peeled pear slices, cranberries, lemon juice, ⅓ cup sugar, and cornstarch to a large bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until all evenly coated.
- Evenly spread fruit into the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, add the oats, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cubed butter.
- Mix well with clean, gloved hands until the mixture is no longer powdery and can be formed. Sprinkle crumble over the top of the fruit.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes.
- The topping will feel firm and be a deep golden brown once done. The fruit will be tender, juicy, and bubbly underneath.
- Serve warm with a spoon and add a dollop of vanilla ice cream over each serving. Enjoy right away!
