Ingredients

2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), cored and sliced

2 medium pears (Bosc or Anjou), cored and sliced

4 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Fruit: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples and pears. Drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.

      Mix the Spices: In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the sliced fruit.

        Add Nuts and Dried Fruit: If using, add the chopped nuts and raisins or cranberries to the fruit mixture. Toss everything gently to coat well.

          Prepare for Baking: Transfer the mixed fruit into a baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter over the top.

            Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil to retain moisture and bake for 25 minutes. After that, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and slightly caramelized.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
