Apple and Pear Crisp
4 Pears, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
4-6 Apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
3/4 c. Dried Cranberries
2 tsp. Lemon Zest
3 T. fresh Lemon juice
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon

For the topping:
1 1/2 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. lightly packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 c. old fashioned oats
2 sticks of cold butter, cut into small chunks
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, toss the apples, pears, cranberries, zest, juice, sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir to coat well.
Place in a 9 X 11 Baking dish.
In a medium bowl (actually, I use the same bowl), Mix the flour, sugars, salt and oats.
Add the butter and cut into the mixture with a fork until the butter is small and crumbly.
Spread mix evenly on top of fruit.
Bake for 50-60 minutes until brown and the fruit is bubbly.
Serve warm with cream or ice cream.
