Apple Pear Crisp
Ingredients
FOR THE FILLING
3 cups peeled and diced pears
3 cups peeled and diced apple
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
FOR THE TOPPING
1 stick (½ cup) salted butter, softened at room temperature
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup rolled oats
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
Optional, for serving: vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Place peeled, sliced pears in a large bowl. Add vanilla, cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Transfer pears to the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix together butter, flour, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until completely combined. The mixture will be lumpy and clumpy and should look like a streusel crumb topping. Spread topping evenly over the pears and apples.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top becomes golden brown and crispy and the pears are soft. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Top with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce!
