Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
3 large Gala or Golden Delicious apples
3 large ripe but firm pears
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and apple pie spice. Cut in 1/2 cup butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like rolled oats. Stir in 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and the brown sugar; set aside.
  • Peel and core apples. Cut into quarters, then cut each quarter crosswise in half. Repeat with pears. In 4-quart Dutch oven, combine 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted; stir in apples. Partly cover; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add pears; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes, depending on ripeness of pears. In small bowl, mix remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, the cornstarch and cinnamon; add to fruit mixture. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  • Spoon fruit mixture into ungreased 9 1/2-inch glass deep-dish pie plate. Spoon topping evenly over fruit. Place pie plate on cookie sheet.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbly. Serve warm or cool.

This crumble was a disaster! The pears and apples were mushy, and the crumble topping was dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This crumble was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

So yummy! The pears and apples were perfectly cooked, and the crumble topping was crispy and flavorful. I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and it was the perfect dessert.

This was my first time making a crumble, and it turned out great! The instructions were easy to follow, and the crumble was delicious. I'll definitely be making it again.

I've made this crumble several times now, and it's always a success. The pears and apples are soft and juicy, and the crumble topping is perfectly crispy. I love that I can use whatever fruit I have on hand.

Easy to make and so tasty! I used a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples, and they worked perfectly. The crumble topping was the perfect finishing touch.

This crumble was a hit with my family! The pears and apples were perfectly balanced, and the oat topping was crispy and delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.
