Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Ripe pears
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 100 grams Amaretti cookies
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Ground almonds
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish (approximately 9x9 inches).
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
Add the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon to the pears. Toss gently to coat and transfer the pear mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly.
Place the amaretti cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them into coarse crumbs using a rolling pin. Set aside.
In another bowl, add the flour, cold unsalted butter, and brown sugar. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the mix until it forms coarse crumbs.
Stir the crushed amaretti cookies, ground almonds, and vanilla extract into the crumble mixture until well combined.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pear mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender.
Remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
