Total Time: 1 hour
Recipe Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
-
In a large bowl, combine the apples, pears, fresh cranberries, golden raisins, and pure maple syrup. Toss the mixture well to coat all the fruits evenly.
-
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of unbleached flour over the fruit mixture and toss again until the flour is evenly distributed.
-
Scrape the fruit mixture into an 8×8 inch baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
-
To prepare the topping, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of unbleached flour, oats, walnuts, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
-
Using your fingertips, rub in the unsalted butter until coarse crumbs form.
-
Stir in 3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup just until the crumbs are evenly moistened. The mixture will have a slightly gooey texture.
-
With your fingers, sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the fruit in the baking pan, breaking up any large chunks as needed.
-
Bake the Maple Fruit Crisp in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the apples are tender.
-
Once baked, remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
-
Serve the Maple Fruit Crisp warm, accompanied by a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent touch, or at room temperature for a comforting treat any time of day.
