This was on Barefoot Contessa and it is fabulous! She calls for Macoun apples, but I used Granny Smith and would do it again. The family enjoyed this very much. Perfect for the holiday seasons coming up.
Ingredients:
2 lbs ripe bosc pears (4 pears)
2 lbs firm macoun apples (6 apples)
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1/2 lb cold unsalted butter, diced
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Peel, core, and cut the pears and apples into large chunks. Place the fruit in a large bowl and add the zests, juices, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour into a 9x12x2-inch oval baking dish.
3. For Topping:.
4. Combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.** (see below). Mix on low speed for 1 minute until the mixture is in large crumbles. Sprinkle evenly over the fruit, covering the fruit completely.
5. Place the baking dish on a sheet pan and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is brown and the fruit is bubbly. Serve warm.
6. ** I used my hands to mix the topping, that way the butter melted and the topping just held together better.
