Ingredients
- Pears, firm but ripe (Bosc, Anjou, or Bartlett)
- Fresh or frozen cranberries
- Granulated sugar
- Ground cinnamon
- Ground nutmeg (optional)
- Ground allspice (optional)
- Lemon zest (optional)
- Vanilla extract (optional)
- All-purpose flour
- Old-fashioned rolled oats
- Light brown sugar
- Salt
- Unsalted butter, very cold and cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine peeled, cored, and diced pears with cranberries, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and any optional spices. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, old-fashioned rolled oats, light brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter and work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the pear and cranberry filling into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit without pressing it down.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly and tender. If the topping browns too quickly, tent with aluminum foil.
- Let the crumble cool on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before serving.
