Yummy pear crumble is a delicious food that you can serve with your warm heart to your family. Crumbles originated in Britain during World War II as a more affordable alternative to lavish pie recipes. Although crumbles are simple and generally inexpensive to make, their rich and satisfying flavor makes them the perfect dessert for those colder Fall and Winter evenings. Better yet, their simple ingredient list makes crumbles a far healthier option than many other cakes and pies.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups peeled, thinly sliced firm-ripe pears
- 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds (optional)
- 2 sticks butter
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
- In a large, oven-safe dish, add sliced pears, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Stir until the fruit is evenly coated.
- In a medium bowl add oats, butter, and cinnamon (and optional almonds). Blend with your hands.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pear mixture.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until pears is tender.
