Simple Pear Apple Crisp

November 7, 2025 / Jenny / 0 Comments

This irresistible Pear Apple Crisp recipe hits the spot on a chilly fall or winter evening. Spiced pears and apples are baked with a rich streusel topping of brown sugar, oats, and pecans, creating a dessert that is fruity and satisfying.

While apples get a lot of glory (and deservedly so) in baking, pears are the unsung heroes of fall and winter fruits. Their tender texture and naturally sweet flavor blends beautifully with the tart apples and when baked with aromatic spices like cinnamon, and nutmeg, a delicious combination emerges from the oven.

Peach Blueberry Muffins

Why not pair two of summer’s favorite fruits in these simply delicious muffins?Peach Blueberry Muffins work great as part of breakfast or as a tasty snack. These muffins are subtly sweet and moist, showcasing the sunny flavor of peaches and the tart juicy blueberries. And the beauty of muffins is that they are very portable and easy to pack for when you’re on the go.

The peach crop in Michigan must be going well this year because the local peaches I have tasted so far this summer have been juicy and flavorful! I added blueberries to the peaches because that is one of my favorite summer combinations of fruit, and we have a freezer full of recently-frozen blueberries that a friend brought us from South Haven, Michigan. It is such a genuine pleasure to enjoy these gems when they are in season.

Rhubarb Bundt Cake

This rich, moist cake is accented with bursts of fruity flavor from the rhubarb. Though my family and I love a tart rhubarb pie, the rhubarb aspect of this cake is much more subtle and sweet. So subtle that even those who claim to not like rhubarb will probably love this cake. The Bundt pan creates a festive style with its fancy shape, and the delicious flavor goes beautifully with coffee, tea, or on a hot day, iced tea.

The recipe for Rhubarb Bundt Cake is based on one I found in the cookbook Hollyhocks & Radishes by Bonnie Stewart Mickelson. I love this cookbook for its seasonal recipes that celebrate locally grown produce from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Rhubarb Bundt Cake is quite easy to put together and while it bakes, you can do all the other things you need to do. Because I know you have a lot of things to do, as I certainly do!
