1. 1. Prepare Your Fruit: Begin by peeling, coring, and slicing your apples and pears. Aim for slices that are about 1/4 inch thick. Place all the sliced fruit into a large mixing bowl.

2. 2. Flavor the Fruit Filling: To the bowl with the fruit, add the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Toss everything gently until the fruit slices are evenly coated with the sugar and spice mixture. The fruit should look glossy and fragrant.

3. 3. Arrange in Baking Dish: Transfer the coated fruit mixture into an 8×8 inch or 9×9 inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly in a single layer as much as possible.

4. 4. Prepare the Granola Topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine the granola and the melted unsalted butter. Stir well until all the granola pieces are coated with the butter. The granola should look slightly damp and clump together a little.

5. 5. Add the Topping: Evenly sprinkle the buttered granola mixture over the fruit in the baking dish. Make sure the fruit is mostly covered.

6. 6. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 375 F (190 C). Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the fruit is tender when pierced with a fork and the granola topping is golden brown and crisp. You’ll see the fruit juices bubbling up around the edges.

7. 7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, carefully remove the crisp from the oven. Let it cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly and prevents burns from the hot fruit.
