First Day of School: Take Two

Monday was my first day of class at Camberwell and when I got home, exhausted and a bit overwhelmed, Jen was there to make me the most homey dessert - pear and apple crumble topped with vanilla ice cream. The photo doesn't even do it justice- I wish you could have smelled it! Butter, brown sugar, oats and apple baking in the oven, mmmmm. 


Recipe:

filling:
4 pears, peeled and sliced
2 apples, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup dove's farm gluten free plain white flour
pinch of nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
30 g butter

crumble:
40 g butter, softened
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup oats
handful of chopped walnuts
1-2 tablespoons sugar
pinch of cinnamon

Preheat oven to 190 C. Mix all the filling ingredients excluding the butter and place in a square baking dish. Lay the butter on top of the mixture. In a separate bowl, mix all the crumble ingredients with your hands (or a pastry cutter if you have one on hand) and sprinkle on top of the pear and apple mixture. Bake until bubbly and the topping is golden brown, about 20 mins. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
