Pear Apple Crisp

One of my absolute FAVORITE desserts at home, was {and, well… IS.} apple crisp. Straight outa the oven topped off with some whipped cream and chopped nuts? Dang deliciousness right there. In an attempt to be healthy{ishhhh}, I used whole wheat flour in this recipe. And originally, it only had a third cup of butter in the whole thing. BUT in the middle of baking time, my mom took it out, asked how much butter was in there, and upon hearing my answer, shoved another good amount on top. One cup it is, then!

I can't say that was a bad idea though. Instead of being very "crisp" it turned out quite the opposite. Everything melted together nicely, creating a carmely, gooey, texture with some crunch from the oats and nuts. It also had some good flavor going on! With both pears and apples, and cinnamon and nutmeg, it literally tasted like heaven in a bowl. As soon as I took it out of the oven, I took a bite. went back for seconds. thirds. fourths. The rest is history. Yummy history at that!

Random question: Do you guys like your crisps warm or cold? 

Maybe I'm super weird {duhhh.}, but I like mine after it's been in the fridge for awhile. SO GOOD!
