APPLE, CRANBERRY, AND PEAR CRISP
This is a variation of the traditional Apple Crisp that I dreamed up one day when I didn't have enough apples, and there were pears in the fruit bowl, and leftover toasted walnuts from something else. We love it. Cranberries can be substituted with raisins or dried cherries. Comice pears taste best with this recipe.

SHEILA'S BEST APPLE CRISP (NO OATS)
This is the apple crisp from my childhood (there is no oatmeal in the topping). If I could only pick one dessert to make the rest of my life, this would probably be it. Mom always made this in her beautiful copper au gratin pan. I bought the same pan when I got married, just so I could make this dessert. Originally from the 1966 version of the "Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery", Mom adapted it slightly over the years (with a little help from Cooks Illustrated I think). Cutting the apples into "cubes" (instead of slices) helps the apples keep the apples firm throughout. I have made this with pecans or walnuts. I have also made it without nuts. I like it best with pecans, but all versions are yummy!! I love it warm or cold. You can serve it with ice cream, but I usually only do that for dinner parties.

Steps:
- Cut cold butter into small cubes. Place in freezer to chill further.
- PREPARE APPLES.
- Peel apples.
- Cut an apple into quarters. Cut out core. Cut each apple slice one more time so that there are 8 slices.
- Cube the apple by cutting each slice the "short" way 2 or 3 times. Apple chunks should be no smaller than 1 inch (or they will get too mushy when cooking).
- Cube the remaining apples.
- Put apples into an 8 1/2 x 12 inch au gratin casserole dish, or an equivalent baking dish (it's pretty forgiving).
- Pour water over apples.
- PREPARE TOPPING:.
- In the food processor put the sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and flour. Pulse until combined.
- Remove butter from freezer and put into food processor.
- Pulse to blend. Topping should be smaller than peas but not as fine as cornmeal.
- Add 3/4 cups chopped pecans pulse too mix.
- Sprinkle topping over apples evenly.
- Cover dish with foil.
- Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
- Uncover.
- Bake for 30 more minutes.
- Cool before serving.
Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your apple crisp a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
- Peel and slice the apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Add some spices to the apples. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic choices. You can also add a bit of lemon zest or vanilla extract.
- Don't overcook the apples. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Make sure the topping is golden brown. This will give your apple crisp a nice crunchy texture.
- Serve the apple crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Apple crisp is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and tart apples, crunchy topping, and creamy ice cream or whipped cream, it's the perfect way to end a meal. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give apple crisp a try.
