Cranberry-Pear Crisp
- 1 pound cranberries (thawed if frozen)
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 firm pears (such as Bosc), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of ground allspice
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the fresh and dried cranberries in a large bowl.
- Add 1 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons water and the vanilla and toss to coat.
- Lightly smash with a potato masher or fork to burst some of the cranberries.
- Add the pears, cinnamon, allspice and 2 tablespoons flour and toss to coat.
- Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish.
- Make the topping: Mix the remaining 1 cup flour, the pecans, oats, the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the salt in a medium bowl, then stir in the melted butter.
- Use your fingers to pinch the topping into small clumps and sprinkle it over the fruit.
- Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
