I made this last week using all 3 fruits. I had planned on making a pear and apple crisp, but since I had leftover blueberries I just used less pears and apples. I did use a deep rectangle baking dish similar to yours. Came out delicious! This recipe is a keeper I’ll use again and again. Thank you!
Some of my favorite combinations for fruit. Your photos look amazing and I cannot wait to try this!
This looks absolutely, positively delicious! My mouth is watering from your photos.
Thank you so much for joining Grace at Home. I really appreciate it. Bless you!

I love a good crisp. They're so easy and delicious. I like the concept of adding the pear. A bit different. Great to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays.

Oh my those dishes look fabulous! Pear and apple sound delicious together.
I love anything with the word 'crisp' in the title! Your recipes look like just the sort of old fashioned crisps I like. When I was growing up my mother always served her crisps with sour cream, and when I am feeling nostalgic, I do too.
Oh my…eating at your house must be a complete joy! This looks wonderful….and then your talent with the camera, oh my, all inspires me to go cook!
Oh my I can practically smell this…sounds soo good!
