Instructions: Spray the bowl of a slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the apples, pears, dried cherries, sugar, orange peel and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and toss well. Mix together flour, oats, brown sugar, remaining 2 teaspoons cinnamon, ginger and mace in a bowl and stir to combine. Crumble the butter with your fingers, add to the flour mixture and knead the mixture to incorporate the butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the fruit, patting it down lightly. Cook the mixture on high for 4 hours, until the fruit is bubbly. Serve warm with fresh whipped cream or ice cream.
