Apple Pear Crisp
- 3/4 cups All-purpose Flour, Divided
- 3/4 cups Light Brown Sugar, Divided
- 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1/3 cups Quick Cooking Oats
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, Divided
- 3 whole Apples. Peeled, Cored And Thinly Sliced (I Use Granny Smith)
- 3 whole Pears, Peeled, Cored And Thinly Sliced
- 2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Crystallized Ginger
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 whole Lemon, Zest And Juice
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, butter, oats and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix until large pieces form. (I cut the butter into the dry ingredients with my pastry blender.) Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup brown sugar, apples, pears, ginger, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
- Spread the fruit in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the fruit mixture is tender and bubbly. Cool for 15 minutes.
- Garnish with whipped cream, if desired ... vanilla ice cream tastes mighty good, too! Makes 8 servings.
