Apple and Pear Crumble | An Easy Dessert

This Apple and Pear Crumble makes a great easy dessert for the whole family. Both regular and Thermomix instructions are included.

Inspired by my easy Apple Crumble recipe, this Apple and Pear Crumble is a simple dessert everyone will enjoy.  You can make this dessert ahead of time (it will keep in the fridge for up to four days) and then simply reheat it when needed, which helps to make this a fab weeknight dessert too.

I’ve included the instructions to make this recipe both conventionally and using a Thermomix, however when it comes to cooking the fruit, although it can be done in a thermie, I do find it easier to do it on the stovetop as you will need to do it in a couple of batches (and use a lot more water) if using the Thermomix. If you have the time, you certainly can cook your fruit in your Thermie if you would prefer to.

Regardless of which method you use to make this recipe, it is sure to be a hit with your family, especially the kids!  We usually enjoy this crumble with ice-cream but it’s also really yummy when eaten with custard too – or you can eat it straight from the baking dish like my husband!!

My top tips for making this Apple and Pear Crumble are:

• You can use different quantities of apples and pears when making this recipe.
• This recipe is freezer friendly.
• If you don’t have a 20cm round baking dish, you can use a different size, the cooking time of your Apple and Pear Crumble may vary though.
• If you can’t find granny smith apples, you can use other varieties.

For the Crumble

• ▢ 1 cup rolled oats

Drain the excess fluid and transfer the cooked fruit to your pie dish.
  
• While the apple and pears are cooking you can make the crumble topping by placing all of the crumble ingredients into a medium bowl and rubbing the butter in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
