I'm not a big crisp or crumble fan, but this was very good, especially with whip cream on top. A great way to use up some fresh pears when your husband buys a case of them because they are "on sale". Pretty sweet, but I used brown sugar throughout, so that may be my fault. The cranberries lend a little variety to the recipe.

I omitted the apple juice and used lemon juice sprinkled on pears to keep their color. Omitted the essence too. I cooked it in the microwave. A trick I learned after using microwave apple crisp on this site. My DH cannot eat Fresh fruit because he reacts to something in the skin, Probably chemicals so I cook fruit daily for him. This is a keeper for us Thanks.

The flavor in this dish was wonderful. I didn't prepare it correctly, and I added pecans, it was still very tasty. This is an excellent recipe to use when someone gives you a bushel of fresh picked pears. :)

This was the best Crumble I have ever had! I think the pears (instead of apples) put it over the top for me. I also loved the combination of pears with cranberries. I did use almond extract instead of vanilla and prefer more topping so doubled the oats and butter. I will definitely be making this again!
