Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh cranberries
• 3 medium ripe pears (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar-sized dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, diced pears, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, 3 tablespoons of flour, and ground cinnamon. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated.

Step 3

Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.

Step 4

In another mixing bowl, prepare the crisp topping by combining rolled oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup of flour, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.

Step 5

Add the cold, cubed butter to the topping mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish, ensuring the entire surface is covered.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
