Autumn Apple & Pear Buckle (Food & Wine recipe)

Autumn Apple & Pear Buckle

Jan Birnbaum's recipe for an Autumn Apple Buckle is found here on the Food & Wine website

I picked up some lovely Bartlett pears at the Farmer's Market (Ha's Apple Farm stand)...and I didn't have enough apples so I decided to go with an Apple & Pear Buckle.

The topping is really easy...flour, butter, cinnamon, sugar, brown sugar, zest, and walnuts. Super yum!

Equally simple to throw together is the batter. It has half-and-half but I substituted cream (yes, nothing like increasing the fat content!) I folded the apples into the batter, and spread half in the springform pan. Then I layered my pears and covered it with the remaining batter.
