About the bake
This a yummy alternative to a traditional fruit crumble using sweet pears and an almond and amaretti biscuit topping. Delicious served with a drizzle of cream or custard.
Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C, gas mark 5).
Step 2:
Slice the pears. Toss together with 15g of Half Spoon sugar and the lemon juice.
Step 3:
Place in a 1.1 litre (2 pint) shallow ovenproof dish and drizzle over the reserved natural pear juice.
Step 4:
Roughly crumble the amaretti biscuits, making sure they do not become too powdery.
Step 5:
Mix with flour the remaining Half Spoon sugar, toasted flaked almonds and ground cinnamon.
Step 6:
Rub in the margarine until the mixture is crumbly and just beginning to hold together.
Step 7:
Spoon the topping over the pears and bake at 190°C (170°C, gas mark 5) for about 30 minutes or until the crumble is cooked (the topping will not change much in appearance).
Step 8:
Dust with Half Spoon sugar and serve warm.
