Apple & Pear Crumble
I found this recipe on Tesco's website and doubled it up to make one for my grandparents and the other for after our Sunday dinner. I tweaked it slightly by adding some cinnamon (my favourite spice), and a few pears that needed using up. Everyone really enjoyed it.
Serves 8
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 50 min
Total time: 1h
Recipe:
For the Filling
• 1300g cooking apples
• 550g pears
• 4 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tsp water
For the Crumble
• 220g self raising flour
• 80g granulated sugar
• 80g salted butter
• 4 tbsp rolled oats
Ice cream or custard to serve
Method
1. Heat oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
2. Peel, core and dice the apples and pears.
3. Put the apples, 4 tbsp sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and water into a saucepan and gently cook for a few minutes until the apples have softened. Taste the apples and add more sugar if needed depending if the apples are tart. Mix in the pears and transfer to an ovenproof dish.
4. Place the flour, 80g granulated sugar and butter into a mixing bowl and rub with your fingertips until breadcrumbs form. Stir in the oats. Scatter onto the apples and then sprinkle some extra sugar on top. Bake for 40-45 mins until golden and bubbling.
