You want larger pear cubes and smaller apple cubes. Make sure your pear cubes aren’t too small or they will disappear into mush.I like to slice them relatively thin, then cub them. Be sure your apple slices aren’t too thick or they won’t cook evenly with the pears.Tips for Making Cranberry Apple Pear Crisp In the end you should have a crumbly topping that when pressed together holds it’s shape.Mix in with a pastry cutter (or spoon or hands work too). Add in the maple syrup, remaining oats, chopped walnuts and orange zest.Remove the streusel from the food processor and place in a medium large mixing bowl.Grate the frozen vegan butter (I use Earth Balance sticks) into the food processor while it’s running (both blade and grater attachments should be running – this way you are grating the butter into the flour mixture that is being mixed by the blade, resulting in crumbles of perfect buttery streusel topping.Place the shredder attachment on top and close the food processor.Combine the GF flour, oats, coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a food processor with the blade attachment.The steps for making the streusel topping are really quite simple: It should be crumbly when you are stirring it in the bowl, yet hold it’s shape when you press it together with your hands.
