Toppings

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) so it's nice and hot while you prepare the crumble.
    Oven set to 190°C or 375°F, indicating the temperature for baking.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour and cold butter cubes. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until it looks like coarse crumbs, with some pea-sized pieces for extra texture.
    113 Grams Unsalted butter, 230 Grams Plain flour
  • Add the oats, sugar, and grated marzipan to the crumb mixture and give it a good stir to combine everything.
    50 Grams Porridge oats, 50 Grams Demerara sugar, 50 Grams Marzipan
  • Peel your pears and slice them into bite-sized cubes.
    800 Grams Pears

  • In a casserole dish, toss together the sliced pears, lemon juice, and sugar. Pop them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to soften up a bit.
    1 Tablespoons Lemon juice, 50 Grams Demerara sugar
  • While the pears bake, wash your strawberries and hull them (remove the green leafy tops).
    200 Grams Strawberries

  • Once the pears have softened, take the dish out of the oven. Spread the strawberries evenly over the hot pears, creating a beautiful fruit layer.
  • Spoon the crumble topping loosely over the fruit, making sure you leave some larger crumbles for that delightful texture.

  • Finish it off with a sprinkle of flaked almonds for some extra nutty goodness. Bake the crumble for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and looks delicious.
