Notes
A winter warming dessert without the guilt!
This is the perfect kind of dessert or snack to serve any day of the week or when people are coming over – just put it on and leave it!
If you’ve only got apples, or a combo of the two fruits, either use both or substitute for a different, still delicious result.
Either way, keep the pears in the liquid to retain maximum flavour and you could even use the liquid with the pears as a sauce. For instance when serving over porridge for breakfast.
GLUTEN-FREE? Either remove the oats from the crumble all together or substitute with rolled/puffed quinoa flakes.
TOP TIP - Make a larger batch of the crumble and store in an airtight container to have on hand through the week and enjoy as a 'cereal' with yoghurt.
