Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.📌
Mix pears, sour cherries, cornstarch, 2/3 cup white sugar, and almond extract in the prepared baking dish.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the fruit.📌
Combine all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup white sugar, salt, and ground nutmeg in a bowl; cut in butter with a knife or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the flour mixture over the fruit.
