Pear and Cranberry Breakfast Crumble

Without a doubt, pears are my favorite fruit. I've loved them ever since i was a little kid. I actually remember one time when I was about 5 or 6 and I was eating one at my grandmother's house it was sooo juicy and sooo good. I ate the entire thing. And I mean the ENTIRE thing! My mom came in and asked when I did with the core and I was like "what?" Yeah, I ate that pear core, seeds, and all!

Anyway, it's easy to overlook pears in the Fall because of all of the excitement that surrounds apples. I decided to make a pie in celebration of the season's "other" fruit. When thinking about what I wanted my pie to look like, I decided on a crumb top. Then I remembered that Deb over at Smitten Kitchen posted an apple breakfast granola crisp that looked amazing, and my pear crumble as born. With a combination of pears, apple, cranberries and a lightly sweetened granola topping, this crumble is delicious for breakfast, dessert, or anything in between. [....]
