- 1 teaspoon almond extract

For the Base:
Peel both the pears and apples, then cut into pieces. Pop them in a saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. If you find them watery you can drain off some of the excess, or use a touch of cornstarch to help thicken the water. Do not do both of these things, one or the other.
Remove from heat and add brown sugar and almond extract.
Pour the pear and apple mixture into a casserole pan (9 x 13, or small dutch oven)and spread out.
For the Crumble Topping:
Mix all the other ingredients in a bowl until it resembles coarse crumbs. Spoon over top of the pear and apple mixture. Smooth out.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until top in light golden brown.
Remove from oven and try to allow to cool. (hardest step ever)
Serve with a big old "I ate the whole pan" smile!
