Between the natural sweetness of the fruits, the spices and the crunchiness of the topping, this Apple and Pear Crumble is the ultimate Winter Dessert!
Peal, core and slice the Pears and Apples into small cubes. Place them in a large bowl and add the Brown Sugar, Cornstarch, Lemon Juice and Spices. Mix well and set aside.
Spiced Crumble
Place the Rolled Oats, Plain Flour, Shredded Coconut, Brown Sugar and Spices in a large bowl.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add the to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers and palms to rub the butter in the dry ingredients to create small crumbs.
Optional: chop the almonds and mix them in the rest of the crumble.
Putting the crumble together
Place the Fruits and juices at the bottom of a large baking dish (see note 1). Completely cover the fruits with the crumbles then bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the crumbs look golden brown. Eat warm.
Notes
I used a large round Ceramic dish but your can use any type of baking dish you prefer - ceramic, glass or even metal. I do not recommend using springform pans for this recipe.
