Instructions

1. Prepare the fruit filling by combining sliced apples and pears with lemon juice, brown sugar or maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, flour or cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.

2. Butter or oil a 9×9-inch baking dish and spread the fruit mixture evenly in the dish.

3. In a separate bowl, stir together granola, rolled oats, flour, sugar, and salt, then drizzle in melted butter or coconut oil and honey or maple syrup until the mixture holds small clusters.
