Cranberry-Pear Crisp with Almond Topping
- 5 cups peeled and sliced firm pears, such as bosc or bartlett (about 2 pounds)
- 2 1/2 cups (8 ounces) whole cranberries
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (l stick) cold unsalted butter, cut in several chunks
- 1 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking rolled oats (not instant oatmeal)
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- Vanilla ice cream
- Butter a shallow 2 1/2- to 3-quart baking dish.
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a large bowl, toss the pears with the cranberries and granulated sugar.
- Spread in the bottom of the prepared dish.
- In a food processor, process the brown sugar and flour to remove any lumps in the sugar.
- Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add the oats and almonds and pulse once or twice just to combine.
- (You can also mix the topping by hand.)
- Sprinkle over the fruit, spreading to make an even layer.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until the pears and cranberries are tender and the topping is browned, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
- Serve hot or warm with scoops of ice cream.
