About Pear crumble

Pear crumble is a classic baked dessert originating from British cuisine, known for its comforting combination of sweet, tender pears and crispy, buttery topping. Pears are rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium while providing natural sweetness with low-calorie content. The crumble layer typically includes flour, butter, and sugar, contributing energy in the form of carbohydrates and fats. This dessert is versatile, often paired with cream or custard, and is especially popular during autumn when pears are in season. While pear crumble is indulgent, variations use whole grain flours or nuts to enhance the nutritional profile.

Health Benefits

• Supports digestion due to pears being high in dietary fiber (6g per medium pear).
• Boosts immune health with vitamin C content in pears (around 8% of the recommended daily intake per medium pear).
• Promotes heart health since pears contain potassium, aiding blood pressure regulation (190mg per medium pear).
