Apple and Pear Crumble image

This great dessert is from The New Vegetarian Epicure. I've used it with several combinations of fruit - basically whatever I have on hand - and it's always been good. While the apple and pear combination is excellent, I've also had great results with mixed berries (strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, cherries). An easy dessert with ingredients you probably have on hand.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 -5 tart apples
4 -5 pears (if using other mixed fruits instead, just be sure to have about 4 lbs total)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup raisins
1 dash nutmeg
1 dash cinnamon (or any other spice you love!)
2/3 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
5 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons ice water
1 cup rolled oats

Steps:

  • Prepare fruit (peel, pit, whatever it takes). If large, cut into 1/4 thick slices.
  • Toss in a bowl with lemon juice, sugar and raisins and a bit of nutmeg and cinnamon (I usually add allspice because I love it).
  • Combine the flour, sugar, salt and spices.
  • Cut in the butter and mix till mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. There should be no big chunks of butter left. (I usually do this with my hands - don't have a food processor).
  • Sprinkle in the ice water, mix till the crumble mixture holds together and forms little clumps.
  • Add the rolled oats and mix. If the mixture seems sticky, add more oats.
  • Spread fruit evenly in a large glass or ceramic baking dish.
  • Scatter topping evenly over the fruit, leaving some of it in larger chunks and some in fine crumbles.
  • Bake the Crumble at 375 for about 40-45 minutes or until the top is crisp and brown and the juice is bubbling up around the edges.
  • Serve it hot or warm, with ice cream, whipped cream, or all by itself.

I'm not a big fan of crumbles, but I thought this one was pretty good. The crumble topping was nice and crunchy and the apples and pears were cooked perfectly.

This crumble was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Overall, it was a good recipe.

The crumble topping was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with more butter.

This crumble was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar in the crumble topping.

I'm not a big fan of apples, but I loved this crumble! The pears and crumble topping were so good that I didn't even miss the apples. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the crumble turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a bit more sugar in the crumble topping. It was a little too tart for my taste.
