APPLE, CRANBERRY, AND PEAR CRISP

Apple, Cranberry, and Pear Crisp image

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 ripe, firm pears for the best flavor and texture. Bosc or Anjou pears are good choices.
Use fresh or frozen unsweetened whole or chopped dried tart cherries. Fresh are ideal for best flavor.
If using dried cherries, plump them up in hot water for 10 minutes before using. Drain and pat dry.
For a sweeter filling, add 1/2 cup of sugar or brown sugar to the pear-cherry mixture. You could also substitute maple syrup or honey.
For a more tart filling, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest or orange zest to the pear-cherry mixture.
Use a large baking dish as the filling will bubble up during baking.
If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the dish with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time.
Let the crisp cool slightly before serving so that the filling has a chance to set.
