4-5 cups Baking ~ apples sliced thin
4-5 cups Asian pears ~ sliced thin
2 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Honey ~ agave for vegan diets
1 Tbsp Lemon juice
For the Topping:
1 cup All-purpose flour ~ gluten-free if needed ~ I use a gluten-free baking blend like King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure For Measure.
2/3 cup Quick-cooking oats ~ gluten-free if needed
1 cup Brown sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 cup Chopped walnuts ~ omit for nut-free diets
7 Tbsp Butter ~ or a non-dairy substitute

In a large mixing bowl add sliced pears and apples.
Add cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, honey or other sweetener, and lemon juice. Mix well and cook on high in the microwave for 3 minutes.
Stir well and cook 1-2 more minutes.
Dump the mixture into an 11" x 7" or similar baking dish. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine all the topping ingredients except the butter.
Warm the butter in the microwave until just melted. Pour over the topping mixture and stir until all of the ingredients are completely coated. You could also use your hands to mix if that is easier.
Completely cover the fruit with the topping; some tiny open areas are ok.
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes, then cover with foil and bake 15-20 minutes longer. The longer the better in my opinion.
Remove from oven and let the crisp rest for 15-30 minutes. (If you can wait that long)
