Instructions

Filling instructions

  • Preheat oven to 220°C
  • Peel apples and pears, remove cores, then chop them in large cubes. Set aside.
  • Place all ingredients except apples and pears in a high-speed blender until smooth. Then, combine the mixture with cubed apples and pears until they are evenly covered.
  • Place the final mixture in a ceramic or glass baking dish. Bake for 35 minutes at 220°C covered with either tin foil or a lid.

Topping instructions

  • Keep oven heated on 220°C.
  • Mix all topping ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
  • Spread the topping evenly over the baked apples and pears. Even it out with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the apple juices are sizzling from the sides of the dish.
  • Let rest at least 20 minutes before serving. This is delicious with coconut yogurt (photo) or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

This crumble is best when fresh, though leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days, or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or in a 220°C oven until warm.
