Description

Spiced Pear and Ginger Crumble is a warm and comforting British dessert featuring tender pears infused with fragrant spices like ground ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg, baked under a buttery, crunchy oat and flour crumble topping. The gentle heat from ginger perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the pears, making it an ideal treat to enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 4 cups ripe pears, peeled and sliced
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for even baking of the crumble.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a baking dish, place the sliced pears. Add granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Toss gently until all pear slices are evenly coated with the spice and sugar mixture.
  3. Make Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture forms a crumbly texture, resembling coarse breadcrumbs.
  4. Assemble Crumble: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the spiced pear mixture in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage for a crisp topping after baking.
  5. Bake: Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the topping turns golden brown and crispy.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally paired with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.

Notes

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures.
  • For extra crunch and flavor, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumble topping before baking.
