Rustic Pear And Apple Crumble Recipes

HEALTHY APPLE & PEAR CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Wash apples well. Slice, core and dice apples and pears.
• In a large bowl (or right in your baking dish), combine apples, pears, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon. Mix well and layer into a 9 x 9 baking dish.
• In a medium size bowl, combine oats, almond meal, walnuts, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla and salt, mix well. Spread oat mixture evenly over the apples and sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
• Bake for 35 - 40 minutes, or until apples and pears are fork tender. Let cool 5 - 10 minutes before serving.
• Serves 6 generously

PEAR-APPLE CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the crust: Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge with a fork or your fingers. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Peel and thinly slice the pears and apples and transfer to a large microwave-safe bowl; add the dried fruit, honey, granulated sugar, flour, lemon zest and juice, vanilla, cinnamon and salt and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until the apples and pears are tender and juicy, 5 to 7 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Make the topping: Whisk the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, work the butter into the oat mixture until small clumps form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Place the pie crust on a baking sheet. Add the filling, slightly mounding it in the center. Press the crumble topping evenly over the filling. Bake until the topping is browned and the filling is bubbling, about 1 1/2 hours. (Tent with foil if the topping browns too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

APPLE AND PEAR CRUMBLE

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.
