This rustic, aromatic fruit crisp highlights the natural sweetness of orchard-fresh apples and pears. By pairing tart Granny Smith apples with floral Bosc pears, this dessert ensures a perfect balance of flavor. The baked fruit sits beneath a generous layer of buttery, crunchy oat topping that caramelizes beautifully. It is a reliable, comforting American classic that requires no complex pastry skills and is guaranteed to be a hit at any autumn gathering or family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

4 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced thin
4 cups Bosc pears, peeled and sliced thin
1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt (optional, for flavor balance)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with softened butter.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples and pears.
Toss the fruit with 2 tablespoons of flour and the cinnamon until evenly coated.
Transfer the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the remaining flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the oat mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until crumbly.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit in the baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling.

Notes

Ensure the butter is chilled when cutting it into the dry ingredients to guarantee a clumpy, crunchy texture. You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free oat flour blend for a gluten-free version. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or microwave.
