It's the final day of Fall Flavors week and today I'm sharing Ginger Apple Pear Crisp. What makes this a crisp and not a cobbler or a crumble? Crisps use brown sugar in the topping and also contain some kind of oats.
I used Granny Smith apples and Barlett pears. I peeled the apples but did not peel the pears, just personal preference.
I made the topping in the food processor because I hate using a pastry blender to cut in butter. As a result you can't see the oats in the topping, but they are there.
You can serve it up as is or you can totally take it over the top with some vanilla bean ice cream and diced candied ginger.
