Pear and plum crumble
A delicious way to utilise pears during the winter months, and simple to substitute the plum for so many different options, a berry, apples, maybe some rhubarb?
Thank you for the inspo, produce box customer Michelle 🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♀️
Ingredients:
3 ripe pears, peeled, cored, cut into thin wedges
1/4 cup (55g) caster sugar, I used less as fruit was nice and ripe.
6 just-ripe plums, pitted, cut into wedges
1 cup (150g) plain flour
1 cup (90g) rolled oats
1/2 cup (110g) brown sugar
100g butter, softened
1/4 cup (25g) coconut, shredded or desiccated
1/4 cup (20g) almonds, flaked
1 tsp ground cinnamon
How to make it:
Preheat oven to 180C. Heat a large (22cm base measurement) ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Add pear and sprinkle with caster sugar. Add 1 tbs water. Cook, turning occasionally, for 5 mins or until slightly tender. Arrange plums over pears. Cook, gently turning occasionally, for 5 mins or until plums begin to collapse. Remove from heat.
Step 2
Meanwhile, combine the flour, oats and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add butter and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the coconut, almonds and cinnamon and toss to combine. Sprinkle evenly over the plum mixture.
Bake for 20 mins or until golden brown and heated through. Set aside for 5 mins to cool slightly. Serve with your favourite cream, custard or ice cream.
