    We grew up on my mom's classic apple crisp. I added pears to the filling, along with a warm, sweet Indian spice blend called vindaloo. (It's equally good with Chinese five-spice powder, or any basic baking spice such as cinnamon or powdered ginger.) Pecans and oats add texture to the buttery brown sugar topping.

    Ingredients

    • Topping:
    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1 cup flour
    • 1/3 cup rolled oats
    • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
    • Filling:
    • 3 large apples
    • 3 large pears
    • 2 tbs. flour
    • 2-3 tbs. brown sugar (depending on the sweetness of the fruit)
    • 1/2 tsp. vindaloo (or Chinese five-spice, or cinnamon, or powdered ginger, or coriander)

    Directions

    1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, make the topping: mash together the butter, brown sugar, and flour. Stir in the oats and pecans. Set aside.
    2. Make the filling: Peel and core the apples and pears. Cut them into bite-sized chunks and add to a large bowl. Toss with the 2 tbs. flour and then brown sugar to taste. Add vindaloo (or your choice of spices).
    3. Pour apples into a 10-inch pie pan (no need to grease it). Sprinkle the topping over the apples. Bake for about 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the fruit is tender. Serve at any temperature, but it’s best warm.
