Instructions
a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
b) Peel and quarter the pears lengthways, remove the core and chop into 2cm chunks. Peel your apples, then quarter, core and roughly chop.
c) Roughly crush the hazelnuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.
d) Reserve 2 tsp of sugar in a medium bowl and set aside to use later for the creme fraiche.
a) Cut the butter into small cubes. Pop half into the fridge to chill for the crumble mixture and pop the other half into a large frying pan.
b) Heat the frying pan on medium heat and gently melt the butter.
c) When the butter starts to sizzle, add the pears, apples, cinnamon and half the remaining caster sugar to the pan.
d) Cook, stirring regularly, until the sugar melts and the apples and pears start to soften, 4-5 mins.
a) While the aples and pears cook, pop the remaining chilled butter into a medium bowl with the flour.
b) Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
c) Stir the crushed hazelnuts, granola and the remaining sugar into the flour. This is your crumble topping!
a) Once cooked, transfer the apple and pear mixture into an appropriately sized ovenproof dish.
b) Evenly cover the apple and pear mixture with the crumble mixture.
a) Bake your crumble on the top shelf of your oven until golden and bubbling, 25-30 mins. TIP: Pop your crumble onto a baking tray to catch any drips.
b) Meanwhile, add the creme fraiche to the medium bowl of reserved sugar and whisk until thick and whipped, 1-2 mins.
a) Once baked, divide the crumble between your bowls.
b) Serve with a dollop of whipped creme fraiche.
Enjoy!
