Pears Picked before the Polar Vortex Arrives!

Well, the world is coming to an end, at least that's how it sounds if you listen to the weather reports. Today it will be a high of 67 and tomorrow morning it will be 30.  With highs in the 30's expected all week, I had to get out and pick more pears. With an abundance of pears and apples I whipped up a fabulous crumble for dessert last night for dinner:

APPLE, PEAR, CRANBERRY CRUMBLE:
3 cups each, apples and pears, peeled and cut up in bite-sized chunks
1 cup fresh cranberries
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Place ingredients in a large pan, heat to medium and mix until cranberries become soft and pop
pour ingredients in a buttered 13X9 baking pan.  Pour prepared topping over the fruit and bake for 35 minutes or until topping is golden brown.  Serve with vanilla ice cream.


Topping:
1/4 cup flour, for gluten free, use almond  or oat flour
1/2 stick of butter, hardened, cut into small slices
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup old fashioned oats

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, cut in butter until ingredients starts to clump together and becomes small pea-size clumps. Sprinkle over prepared fruit and bake.
