October Brings on a Huge Harvest!

October not only brings in cooler market temps, but crisp apples and pears. Boyer Nurseries and Orchards is one of our premier fruit growers at Friday's market and they know their fruit. Don't settle for that same old apple from a mass grocery store chain, but enjoy the selection of apples direct from Boyer's orchards. They know their fruit!

PEAR APPLE CRISP
3 ripe pears, peeled, cored & sliced
3/4 c. flour
2 tart apples, peeled & sliced
1/3 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsp. apple cider
1/4 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix pears, apples, lemon juice, cider
and vanilla. Put in a 9 inch pie plate. In medium bowl, stir together
flour, sugar, allspice and cinnamon. With a pastry blender or knives,
cut in the butter, then stir in the oil. Spoon the crumbly mixture on
top of the fruit. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Serves 6-8
