Description
Warm pear and ginger crumble features tender, spiced pears baked beneath a zesty ginger-oat topping, delivering a fragrant and comforting dessert perfect for cozy evenings.
Ingredients
Fruit:
- 4 pears, diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Crumble:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup flour (or almond flour)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅓ cup butter or coconut oil
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the crumble evenly.
- Prepare Fruit Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced pears, freshly grated ginger, honey, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the pears with the spices and sweetener, then transfer this mixture to a baking dish.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, mix together the rolled oats, flour (or almond flour), and cinnamon. Cut in the butter or coconut oil until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir in the brown sugar for sweetness.
- Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the spiced pears in the baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are fragrant and bubbling.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. For an extra comforting touch, serve warm with vanilla custard or your favorite cream.
Notes
- Serve with vanilla custard for an indulgent complement to the warm crumble.
- To make the crumble gluten-free, use almond flour instead of regular flour.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and ensure your honey is replaced with maple syrup.
- The crumble can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
