    Fabulous! I will NEVER make plain apple crisp again. The pears add a "depth of flavor" as Ina would say! I served this recipe to two different audiences and everyone said the same thing: "will never make plain apple crisp again." Delicious!
    I received a box of fruit for the holidays and didn't want anything to go to waste. I am very indifferent about pears, but recalled seeing this recipe, so I tried it. I don't even know what kind of pears or apples I used, so I think any type would work.

    I love this recipe! It is perfect in every way except that it was a little too sweet for me. I will just leave out some sugar next time. The citrus zests and juices make it a top notch crisp.

    I doubled this recipe. I added the flour/sugar mixture and decided I needed to add more flour and brown sugar, since it didn't look like it coated it enough. I also added a bit of ground ginger and vanilla. It's a good thing I did, because I noticed instead of 4 pounds of pears and 4 pounds of apples, I used 8 pounds of pears and 5 pounds of apples. I'm not even sure how that happened! I'm sure the original recipe would have been perfect. I used a deeper, really big pan, and the topping for the doubled recipe worked perfectly. Everyone loves this! THANK YOU, INA!

    A fantastic recipe! At first I was torn between this one and Ina's apple crumble recipe because they're so similar. But the crumble recipe doesn't mention adding flour to the apples and I found leaving it out makes it too liquidy. My only (nonissue with this is that my crisp topping never works out if I follow the directions exactly. I have to add water while it's in the mixing bowl to get it to mix to a crumbly consistency I can work with. But that's so easy it's not a real problem. This always turns out deliciously!

    It was a wonderful dessert!!! We had it for my mother's birthday & they all loved it.
    Just added a 1 1/2 cup chopped pecans & served it with vanilla ice cream. Thank you Ina!!

    Best fruit crisp recipe I've ever tried. It went over well with my husband & the folks at the office. Making it again today to take to a New Year's Day feast at a friend's house.

    Very good! I also used salted butter because that is all I had in hand. We had it with vanilla ice cream and It tasted great. For my own personal taste I will only add one TB of lemon next time. I'm not a huge lemon fan. I will be making this again :

    Although the prep time took longer than the recipe indicates, it's worth it. The only change I made was that I used salted butter because that's all I had on hand but it was still delicious. Bake at home and take to a friend's and serve with good vanilla ice cream - Haagen Daaz. Thank you, Ina!

    I used apples and pears and think the pears added a great flavor. Did not use the zests and cut down a bit on the lemon juice. For the topping I cut down on the butter and sugar just a bit, used a pastry blender to blend the butter into the topping. This is a fabulous recipe.
