Apple Pear Crisp

I love fruit crisps and try to make them with seasonal fruit year round. Every fall I make Ina Garten's Apple Pear Crisp. It is so tasty! Below is the recipe:

Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds ripe Bosc pears (4 pears)
  • 2 pounds firm green apples (6 apples)
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 
  • For the topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
  • 1/2 pound (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced
Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Peel, core, and cut the pears and apples into large chunks.


Place the fruit in a large bowl and add the zests, juices, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour into a 9 by 12 by 2-inch oval baking dish.



For the topping:
Combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal, and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed for 1 minute, until the mixture is in large crumbles.


It should look like this


Sprinkle evenly over the fruit, covering the fruit completely.

Place the baking dish on a sheet pan and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is brown and the fruit is bubbly. Serve warm.

I didn't get an after picture. I really need to work on taking after pictures, it seems like I'm always too excited for the food and forget about the last pic. Enjoy!
