Prepare the Pan and Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously butter an 8x8-inch baking pan or a similar-sized shallow baking dish. 2. Make the Fruit Filling: Peel, core, and slice the pears into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the pear slices and diced apricots.
Sprinkle with the flour and toss gently to coat all the fruit.
Drizzle the honey over the top and toss again until everything is evenly mixed.
Transfer the pear mixture to your prepared baking pan and spread it in an even layer. 3.
Mix the Topping: In the same bowl (no need to wash it!) , combine the rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
Mix well.
Add the cold butter pieces and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped walnuts. 4. Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit layer in the pan.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the fruit filling is bubbly and tender and the topping is a beautiful golden brown. 5.
Serve and Enjoy: Let the crisp cool for a few minutes before serving. It's delicious served warm, either on its own or with a generous dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
