Ingredients
Scale
For the filling:
- 5 cups chopped, peeled mixed pears & apples
- 1 Tablespoon orange juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 Tablespoon flour
For the topping:
- 1 1/4 cups flour (white or whole wheat)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 Tablespoons chilled butter
- 1/4 cup hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spray a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- As you peel/chop the pears and apples, toss them with the orange juice in a microwave safe bowl. Stir in the rest of the filling ingredients and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Take the bowl out and stir the mixture, then microwave again for 2 minutes. Pour the filling into the prepared pan.
- Now, mix together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon until well mixed. Cut the cold butter into small bits and using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is crumbly and all the butter is mixed in well.
- Pour in the hot water and mix until it forms a soft dough. Drop the dough in little bits over the filling and bake at 400 for about 20 – 25 minutes or until it is golden brown.
