What you'll need...
- 1 kg conference pears
- 250 g blackberries
- 100 g plain flour
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 150 g light brown sugar
- 100 g rolled oats
- 100 g unsalted butter (cubed)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
Method
Peel and cube the pears before adding to a pan over a medium heat. Pour in the maple syrup and ground cinnamon and stir. Cook for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pears have softened.
Remove the pan from the heat, add the blackberries and vanilla essence and mix well. Set aside.
Heat the oven to 190°C / 170°C Fan / gas mark 5.
In a large bowl add the flour, oats and butter and using your fingertips, rub together until the mix looks like breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and combine.
Spoon the pear and blackberry mix into a medium sized oven dish and sprinkle with the crumble mix. Take care to cover all the fruit evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and serve warm with custard or vanilla ice cream.
