  2. In a large bowl combine filling ingredients and stir until apples and pears are completely coated.

  6. Crumble the crisp topping over the filling in the baking dish and pack down gently.
  7. Bake covered with lid or foil for 25 min, then remove lid/foil and continue baking for 15-20 more minutes or until top is golden and juices are bubbling around edges.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool 20 minutes before serving.
