Toppings

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) so it's nice and hot while you prepare the crumble.
    Oven preheated to 375°F or 190°C and displayed in bold orange text.
  • 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 g unsalted butter, 230 g plain flour
  • Add the oats, sugar, and grated marzipan to the crumb mixture and give it a good stir to combine everything.
    50 g porridge oats, 50 g demerara sugar, 50 g marzipan
  • Peel your pears and slice them into bite-sized cubes.
    800 g 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 g demerara sugar
  • While the pears bake, wash your strawberries and hull them (remove the green leafy tops).
    200 g 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.

  • Let the crumble cool slightly before serving it warm. Top it off with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or custard (if you'd like) for an extra special treat.
