Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 2 tablespoons butterscotch schnapps

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger

  • 4 medium pears - peeled, cored, and sliced

  • 1 cup fresh cranberries

  • ½ cup rolled oats

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ⅓ cup white chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Mix schnapps, white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger together in a large bowl until sugar dissolves. Add pears and cranberries and toss until fruit is completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish.

  3. Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cold butter, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until mixture forms large crumbles. Fold in white chocolate chips.

  4. Pour chilled fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish, leaving approximately 3/4 inch at the top. Sprinkle crumb mixture over the fruit, covering completely.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until brown and bubbly, about 45 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Substitute pecans or walnuts for white chocolate chips, experiment with different flavors of schnapps, or swap 2 of the pears for juicy apples.
