APPLE, CRANBERRY, AND PEAR CRISP
This is a variation of the traditional Apple Crisp that I dreamed up one day when I didn't have enough apples, and there were pears in the fruit bowl, and leftover toasted walnuts from something else. We love it. Cranberries can be substituted with raisins or dried cherries. Comice pears taste best with this recipe.

Tips:
- Choose the right fruit: Use ripe, in-season apples or pears for the best flavor. If using apples, choose a firm variety that will hold its shape when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. If using pears, choose a variety that is slightly tart, such as Bartlett or Bosc.
- Peel and slice the fruit evenly: This will help ensure that the fruit cooks evenly. If the fruit is not peeled, the skin will toughen during baking.
- Use a variety of spices: A combination of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, will add flavor and depth to the crisp. You can also add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness of the fruit.
- Don't overmix the topping: The topping should be crumbly, not doughy. If you overmix it, the crisp will be tough.
- Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling: This will take about 30 minutes. If you're not sure if the crisp is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the crisp is done.
