Apple, Cranberry, and Pear Crisp

This is a variation of the traditional Apple Crisp that I dreamed up one day when I didn’t have enough apples, and there were pears in the fruit bowl, and leftover toasted walnuts from something else. We love it. Cranberries can be substituted with raisins or dried cherries. Comice pears taste best with this recipe.
