Very good- pears and apples are a great combination. In the future I would reduce the crumble topping and/or the sugar in the fruit as it was very sweet.

OMG! The hint of orange with the cinnamon and fruit is sooooo good. My family said they wanted seconds and wanted me to make it again. I wouldn't change a thing. This will be a go to recipe. I wish there were 10 stars!

I will likely make this again, however, I will use less (maybe omit some of the lemon and orange zest and juice. The fruit was still crunchy after 50 minutes of baking. It smelled wonderful and was easy. The peeling and chopping took a little bit of time.
