Irmgard, I absolutely loved this. I used all pears (so much for it being an "apple" crisp), and 1 cup of fresh blueberries, which is what I had on hand. Wouldn't change a thing-- thanks so much for posting.

Lovely! I used 6 Granny Smith apples and fresh cranberries and it was so good. Forgot the orange juice, actually, but we still enjoyed the heck out of this.
