Pear and Raspberry Almond Crumble


Pear and Raspberry Crumble! YUM!
Ofcourse it would be delicious! My friend Lin had made it the week before, and since I was conveniently shopping at the greengrocers with her when she told me, I immediately bought 3 big beurre bosc pears, those brown skinned ones that are so easy to cook with.

I peeled and cored them and stewed them with a little orange juice and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Then into the pie plate and topped with frozen raspberries.


I made the crumble topping by melting 50g of butter (pyrex jug in the microwave) and adding in:
1/2 cup flaked almonds
1/4 cup plain flour
1/2 cup dessicated coconut
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp freshly ground cinnamon
Mixed up and sprinkled over the top and then into a moderate oven until golden ~ I let mine go for twenty minutes.

And then this!

Fruit based, seasonal (sneaking in the raspberries), delicious dessert!
As I said at the start: YUM!
 
Cheers!

  1. Oh my God ! It's mouth watering, Joy ! It's a pity we can't find raspberries here :( Is there another fruit that can replace it in this delicious recipe ? Well, we're having strawberries at this time, here... What's your suggestion ?

    Have a gorgeous day !!!

  6. Hi everyone!
    Claudia I can't think of a good substitution (so sad you don't have raspberries!) but any berry would be good, and I think pear and plum would make a lovely crumble! Cheers!
    I bet your MIL will love it Pol!
    Thankyou to you Lucy! I'm good!
