Ingredients

• 4 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 2 medium Pears (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 1 cup Fresh or frozen berries (such as raspberries or blueberries)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 cup Irish steel-cut oats
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square or similar-sized baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, pears, and berries. Toss with granulated sugar and lemon juice until the fruit is evenly coated. Transfer this mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, combine the Irish steel-cut oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir the ingredients together until they are well blended.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the topping mixture.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit base in the baking dish.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
