CINNAMON APPLE AND PEAR CRISP
Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. 2. In a large bowl, toss the apples and pears with the lemon juice, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread the fruit evenly in the baking dish. 3. In the same bowl, stir together the oats, remaining ¾ cup flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the butter and work it in with your fingertips until the mixture forms rough, pea-sized clumps. 4. Scatter the topping evenly over the fruit. 5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling at the edges. 6. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving, ideally with vanilla ice cream. The crisp keeps at room temperature under foil for a day; rewarm it in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes before serving again.
