- 25 Grams Flaked almonds

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) so it's nice and hot while you prepare the crumble.

- 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.25 Grams Flaked almonds
