Type of dish: Dessert

3 medium pears, peeled and sliced
2 medium tart apples, peeled and sliced
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/3 cup caramel topping

Topping:
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 Tablespoons cold butter
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375° F.

In a large bowl, combine the pears, apples, sugar, and allspice. Transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with caramel topping.

For topping, in a small bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, and flour. Cut in butter until crumbly; stir in walnuts. Sprinkle over fruit mixture.
Bake at 375° F for 40 to 45 minutes or until topping is golden brown and fruit is tender. Let stand for 15 minutes. Spoon cooking juices over each serving; top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
