Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, toss 3 peeled and sliced apples and 2 peeled and sliced pears with 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the fruit mixture to a 9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add 6 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter.
  4. Step 4: Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, blend butter into the oat mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbly.
  6. Step 6: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.
