Ingredients

7 total
  • 650g pears (approx. 6), peeled, cored and cut into 2 cm cubes
  • 5 (approx.) cardamom pods, seeds crushed to a powder
  • 100g light muscovado sugar, plus 2 tbsp
  • 100g plain flour
  • 50g rolled oats
  • 100g cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 400g custard (optional)

Method

3 steps

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the pear chunks into a 23 cm round or 20 cm square baking dish and toss with ¼ tsp cardamom and 2 tbsp of the sugar, spreading out evenly.

  2. Step 2

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and oats. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in the remaining sugar.

  3. Step 3

    Scatter the oat mixture evenly over the pears and bake for 40-45 mins, until golden. Serve the crumble with custard, if liked (or try it with ice cream or cream). Keep leftovers covered and chilled in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat to warm through before serving.
