Ingredients
4 cups Granny Smith apples, sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 cups ripe pears, cored and cubed
1 cup light brown sugar, packed divided
1.5 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
0.75 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1.5 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine sliced apples, sliced pears, half of the brown sugar, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl and toss until well coated.
Transfer the fruit mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, remaining brown sugar, and oats.
Cut the cold cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the fruit base in the baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Notes
Use cold unsalted butter to achieve a flakier and crunchier topping. Ensure fruit is sliced uniformly to guarantee even cooking throughout. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
