Ingredients

• 4 cups Pears (ripe, peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (ground)
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears and cranberries. Add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice, and mix until the fruit is evenly coated. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, prepare the oat topping. Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit mixture, covering it fully.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.

Step 6

Remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
