Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Toss together the pears, cherries, 2 tbsp. brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg in a mixing bowl, then transfer to a deep pie plate or baking dish.

To prepare the topping, in a bowl combine the flour, 3 tbsp. brown sugar, salt and mix together. Then add in and combine the butter or margarine until the mixture is crumbly and well incorporated. Stir in the shredded coconut and sliced almonds, then sprinkle evenly over the fruit mixture.

Bake until the top is golden brown and the juices have thickened, about 20 minutes. Serve with your favorite ice cream or frozen yogurt and enjoy.
