It’s pear season around these parts, and I’ve got plenty to go around! Here’s a delicious fruit crisp recipe that my family has enjoyed either for breakfast or dessert
I’ve been making this with pears lately, but apples are the best, in my opinion. You can also substitute peaches or apricots as they come into season! They make great fruit crips as well.

Apple Crisp Recipe
- 6 cups peeled, thinly sliced apples (or fruit of choice)
- 3/4 cups (that’s around 50 to 55 grams) plus an extra Tbsp of brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 c. regular rolled oats
- 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
- 1/4 c. all-purpose flour (I use freshly ground hard red or white wheat)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- dash ground nutmeg (ginger is better with pears)
- 1/2 c. salted butter
- In a bowl, mix the sliced apples with the one Tbsp of sugar until well coated.
- In a separate bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients, cutting the butter in until the mixture is crumbly.
- Place the apples in an 8 x 1 1/2″ round baking dish, and sprinkle the topping over all.
- Bake at 375* for 35 min., or until fruit is tender and the topping is lightly browned.
We enjoy it plain, or with vanilla ice cream, or even whipped cream! Do you have your own twist when making it?

I tried this last night and it was really good. My husband thought this was absolutly great Thank you
Made this tonight and the whole family loved it. I used gluten free flour and added some tapioca starch to my pears since they were juicy.
