Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit Base: Peel and slice the apples and pears first. Put them in a very large bowl. Add the orange juice and the orange zest. Toss them well so the fruit stays bright.
- Season the Filling: Add the white sugar to the fruit. Sprinkle in the cinnamon and the nutmeg. Add a little bit of flour to thicken. Mix everything until the fruit is well coated.
- Make the Topping: Put flour and brown sugar in a bowl. Add the cold butter and the oats. Mix until the mixture looks like small peas. Do not overmix the dough.
- Layer the Dish: Pour the fruit into your baking dish. Spread it out so it is very even. Sprinkle the oat topping over the top. Cover all the fruit with the crumbs.
- Bake Until Golden: Put the dish into a hot oven. Bake it until the topping is brown. The fruit juices should be bubbling. Let it sit for a few minutes.
Notes
➔ Use cold butter for a very crunchy topping.
➔ Slice fruit into even pieces for even cooking.
➔ Do not peel the fruit too far ahead.
➔ Use tart apples to balance the sweet pears.
➔ Press the topping down slightly for big clumps.
➔ Zest the orange before you squeeze the juice.
➔ Check the oven early to avoid burning oats.
➔ Let the crisp rest before you serve it.
