Ingredients

• 2 quince
• 3 apples (firm, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized oven-proof dish.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the quince into thin wedges. Place the quince slices in a medium pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Add the apples to a large mixing bowl along with the cooked quince.

Step 4

Mix the lemon juice, granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Pour this mixture over the apples and quince, tossing until evenly coated. Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, 0.5 cup of flour (for topping), and salt. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the cold butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
