I was gifted some Pears today and came home and made a crumble with them and just made up a mix for the crumble with what I had in the store cupboard and thought it was worth writing down so I remember it as it worked so well. And as I'm doing it I thought well you may as well post it in the Blog so others can share it.
The Pears were ripe so just peeled, cored and diced I had about 4-500g of prepared fruit, possibly a little more, but just use what ever amount you need (or have) and adjust the amount of crumble to cover.
This was the ingredients for the crumble.
150g each of whole wheat flour and ground almonds
80g sugar
100g butter
and a few grinds of salt.
Rub all the ingredients together until resembling wet sand then top the pears and bake for 50-60 minutes at Gas 6 or until the top of the crumble is just starting to go very brown.
Serve with custard. cream or ice cream I had mine with custard made with Birds custard powder and it was lovely, the pears were sweet and soft but with a little texture and definitely did not need additional sugar as you might with a different fruit.
