Description
Sweet apples meet tender pears in this comforting crisp with golden crumble. It’s the kind of dessert you pass around quietly. Bake it soon and tell someone it’s worth repeating.
Ingredients
- 10–12 medium apples and pears (about 8 cups), peeled, cored, and chopped
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Heaping 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp molasses
- 1/3 cup flour
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup raw pecan pieces
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (for topping)
- 7/8 stick vegetable shortening, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 13×9-inch baking dish.
- In a big mixing bowl, toss the chopped apples and pears with 2 tsp lemon juice so they don’t brown.
- Sprinkle in 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp allspice, and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Stir until every piece of fruit is coated and glossy.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the baking dish and spread it out.
- In a separate bowl, mix heaping 1/2 cup brown sugar with 1 Tbsp molasses, 1/3 cup flour, 3/4 cup oats, 1 cup pecans, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
- Pour in the melted shortening and mix with a fork until it clumps like wet sand.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit.
- Bake for 45–60 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the top is golden and crisp.
- Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before serving so the juices thicken.
- Serve warm — ice cream is optional but highly recommended.
