Ingredients

2 pounds ripe Bosc pears (4 pears)
2 pounds firm Macoun apples (6 apples)
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the topping:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1/2 pound (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Peel and core the pears and apples and cut them into large chunks. Place the fruit in a large bowl and toss with the cranberries, zests, juices, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour into a 9 by 12 by 2-inch baking dish.

For the topping:

Combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal, and cold butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture is in large crumbles. Sprinkle evenly over the fruit, covering the fruit completely.

Place the baking dish on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is brown and the fruit is bubbly. Serve warm.

Fantastic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

All of the fruit, zests, and juices blend perfectly together. (I used raisins instead of cranberries simply because they were... on hand.) Made crisp for get together with friends and was concerned that kids wouldn't touch it because it wasn't chocolate. Not the case... they LOVED it! Making for co-workers Monday.... third time in one week! Definitely a keeper.Read more

Easy & Delsih
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Peeling the fruit is the hardest part of this recipe. I have made it twice already, once in individual dishes and one in a... larger dish. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you have the perfect dessert. I also added some chopped walnuts to the topping, which gave it another crunchy texture.Read more

As the other comments say, this is wonderful! It is best served hot from the oven with vanilla ice cream. I divide the... whole recipe into two pans because I like more crust with less fruit.Read more

TOP 10!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

If you haven't made this, you are really missing something! This reminds me of my grandmother's recipe that she used to make... for us in England. I simply could not stop eating this and my family just loved it! This is a truly decadent dessert and so easy to make. Can't wait to make it again! BTW, This just beats the heck out of that semi-homemade cobbler I just tried -- no offense, but wow! after you've had this, you will never go "semi" again!Read more
