Description
A simple baked dessert featuring apples and pears topped with a crisp streusel and drizzled with caramel.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples and pears. Add the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit layer.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is tender and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top before serving.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for a richer dessert.
- You can substitute pecans or walnuts for half of the oats in the topping for added crunch.
