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.

This crumble is a great way to use up leftover apples and pears. It's easy to make and it always turns out delicious. I love the way the crumble topping gets so golden brown and crispy. It's the perfect dessert for a fall day.

This crumble is okay. The crumble topping is a bit dry, and the fruit filling is a bit bland. I think it needs more sugar or spices. I probably won't make it again.

I'm not a huge fan of crumbles, but this one is pretty good. The crumble topping is nice and crispy, and the fruit filling is flavorful. I think it would be even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This crumble is a bit more work than some other desserts, but it's worth it. The combination of apples and pears is perfect, and the crumble topping is out of this world. I love serving it with a dollop of whipped cream.

This crumble was a disappointment. The crumble topping was soggy and the fruit filling was bland. I think it needed more butter or sugar. I won't be making this again.

Not bad, but not great. The crumble topping was a bit too dry and the fruit filling was a bit too tart. I think it needed more sugar or spices. I might try a different recipe next time.

This crumble was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. The crumble topping was nice and crispy, and the fruit filling was gooey and flavorful. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
