I love holiday baking. It’s such a fun activity to do that always leaves me feeling warm and fuzzy inside. Not to mention how great you feel when you finally get to taste the delicious sweet creations!
One of my go-to things to bake when I want something healthy and easy to throw together is a crisp. You can never go wrong with a crisp! They’re delicious, filled with fruit, and a people pleaser!
This pear and cranberry crisp is loaded with juicy pears, fresh cranberries, and topped with a delicious pecan crumble. Can you say yum?
I had never baked much with fresh cranberries before but after testing them out in this recipe I just love them! The fresh cranberries give this crisp a nice festive twist and a little burst of tart flavour that goes great with the sweet pear.
This pear and cranberry crisp is also great to bring along for a holiday potluck. You can bake it right in a glass or metal dish to transport. You can also bake this crisp directly in a cast iron skillet.
Have you ever cooked with fresh cranberries before? What types of dishes do you enjoy them in? I’d love to hear what you think!

Made this on a whim and it was the perfect cozy dessert. The fruit got all soft and jammy underneath, and the topping had a nice crunch. Tastes even better the next day, which is always a win.
YUM! This looks so good Jess! I have never paired cranberry & pear together but that is definitely going to change now! 🙂
