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.

Deliciously Simple Apple Cake

This is one of the easiest cakes I have ever made. With just a few ingredients, you can create a simple, delicious apple cake that lets the flavor of apple really shine. Moist and full of apple and vanilla flavor, this lovely little cake comes together in no time.

I adapted the recipe from one of my many favorite cookbooks, Savor, by Ilona Oppenheim. I love the recipes in this book because they are centered around pure, seasonal ingredients. I am someone who really enjoys baking, but there are points in life when the time factor discourages me from it. This cake does not take much time at all to whip up, and let me tell you, the house smells sooo good while it is baking! Though I usually make this apple cake to be eaten as a snack or simple dessert, I can imagine it would be great as part of a weekend breakfast too.
