Apple Pear Crisp is juicy and tender with sliced fruit baked with a buttery oat topping. Serve this apple pear crisp warm topped with your favorite vanilla ice cream. This will surly become your go-to favorite fall desserts!
This is such a delightful baking dish to bring to a fall get together, potluck, or BBQ.
Even though just about any brand of apples blend nicely with pears, it can still make quite a difference when using a specific brand. Especially when it needs to go into the oven. You don't want to get to soft of an apple, because it'll turn to mush along with the pears.
I personally prefer brands like, Granny Smith, Gala, Fugi, or Macintosh apples. Something that will pair well with the soft, sweet pears.
Preheat Oven to 350F. Grease a 9" pie dish or an 8"x11" baking dish. Set aside. Prepare your ingredients.
Peel, core, and slice your apples and pears.
In a large bowl, combine your pears, apples, 3 tbsp apple juice, 1/3 cup coconut sugar, 2 tbsp flour, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Stir gently until combined.
Dump the mixture and juices into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine 2/3 cup oats, 2/3 cup flour, 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Stir to combine.
Using your fingers, crumble the mixture over the fruit. Occasionally pressing some of it together to form clumps.
Lightly spray or oil a piece of foil and cover the fruit crisp and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes, until the fruit juices are bubbling and the topping is a nice golden brown color. Let it cool for about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
