Pear & Apple Crisp

This is absolutely delicious! It's great for entertaining as you can put it in individual dishes which is super fun and feels a little extra special! I've tweeked this recipe just a tad and made it for four servings...

Ingredients:

• 2 pears
  
• 3 apples (make sure to get a type that's crispy and firm)


• grated orage zest (I never measure zest...just zest an orange and have fun!)


• grated lemon zest (see above)


• freshly squeezed orange juice...again don't worry about measuring...just squeeze the orange you zested


• freshly squeezed lemon zest (see above)


• 1/4 cup sugar


• 1/8 cup flour


• 1 teaspoon cinnamon


• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Peel and core the pears and apples and cut them into large chunks. Place the fruit in a bowl and toss with the zests, juices, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Now, either put it all in a large baking dish, or individual ramekins.

Now here's what you need for the best part -- the TOPPING!!

• 3/4 cup flour
  
• 1/4 cup sugar


• lil over a 1/4 cup brown sugar


• 1/4 teaspoon salt


• 1/2 cup oatmeal
  
• 6 tablespoons butter - diced
  

Combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal, and cold butter in an electric mixer. Mix on low speed for a couple minutes, or until the mixture is in large crumbles. Sprinkle over the fruit, covering the it completely. Try not to get it all over the counter like I did... :) Oh one more little tip...this topping is delicious...go ahead...taste it...or eat it by the spoonfuls like my husband and I did...no one will ever know...

You're all set. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes - 1 hour, until all brown and bubbly. Serve warm and enjoy!
