CRANBERRY PEAR CRUMBLE ( With oats and walnuts)

Time for Sweet Punch !!! Yah this time it was fruit crumble. Any fruit crumble is my favorite.  It is not only easy to make tastes so delicious too. Dessert that can be made in no time(Except the baking time).  Goes well with icecream , Vanilla custard, dollop of whipped cream.  Crumbles originated in Britain during World War II[1]. Due to strict rationing the ingredients required to make the bases of pies contained too much of the necessary flour, fat and sugar to make the pastry. So a simple mixture of flour, margarine/butter and sugar was used to make the top of the crumble. The dish was also popular due to its simplicity.



In some parts of America a very similar dish may be called a crisp. It is also similar to a fruit cobbler. Popular fruits used in crumbles include apple, blackberry, peach, rhubarb, gooseberry, and plum. The topping may also include rolled oats, ground almonds or other nuts, and sometimes sour milk (e.g. vinegar and milk) is added to give the crumble a more extravagant taste. Brown sugar is often sprinkled over the crumble topping, which caramelises slightly when the pudding is baked.  Hope you enjoy making and eating this simple yet delicious dessert.   

CRANBERRY PEAR CRUMBLE
Ingredients :


Pear -3 (peel the skin and diced)
Cranberry - 1/2 cup
Lemon - 1/4 tbsp
Brown sugar - 2 tbsp

Method :

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Grease 6 ovenproof teacups or ramekins or a pie-dish.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the pears, cranberry, brown sugar, lemon zest and juice. Divide the mixture between the teacups or ramekins, spooning over any juice.
3. To make the crumble, place the flour, oats and butter in a medium bowl and, with your fingertips, rub together until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, Walnuts and remaining chocolate.
4. Spoon the crumble over the pears and press down lightly. Place the crumbles on a baking tray and bake for 30-40 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve with a scoop of good vanilla ice-cream.

1. For the crumble part you can either use APF fully or 50/50 ratio of flour and oats.
2. You can use any of your favorite nuts.
3. Substitute with any of your favorite fruit.
4. You can cut down the quantity of butter if you are concerned about the diet.




Serve warm to enjoy the crispy topping !!!
