Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 3 medium Pears (e.g., Bartlett or Anjou)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 70 grams Rolled oats
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish (about 8x8 inches).
Peel, core, and slice the apples and pears into thin wedges or chunks. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice to the bowl with the apples and pears. Toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated.
Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In another mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar for the crumble topping.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit in the baking dish, ensuring the fruit is fully covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
