Ingredients

Topping

Fruit Filling

Instructions

  • Pre-heat Oven: to 375 degrees Fahrenheit while you prep the rest of the recipe.
  • Make the Topping: In a medium bowl add the flour and butter and use your fingers to break up the butter until its the size of small peas. Add the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix everythign together.
  • Make the Filling: In another bowl, add the chopped pears, pomegranate seeds, lemon and orange zest and juice, vanilla paste, spices, flour, sugar and pinch of salt. Give everything a good mix.
  • Pour Mixture into Dish: Lightly butter the inside of a small-medium oven safe casserole dish (a 3 cup souffle dish works well) and spoon fruit mixture into the dish.
  • Add Topping: Top the fruit mixture with the oat topping, gently pressing down to topping sticks.
  • Bake Crumble: Place cruble on a foil lined baking sheet (just in case there is any spillage) and bake for 40-45 minutes. When done, topping should be lightly browned and fruit bubbling.
  • Let Crumble Sit: It will be very hot so allow the crumble to cool down for at least 5 miutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to have fun with the fruit combinations. Such as substituting apples for pears or using all lemon or all orange instead of both.
Pear crumble can be prepped ahead and baked when ready.
Crumble will stay well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
