Crumble topping:
- 100g plain flour
- Half a block of butter
- 40g porridge oats
- 100g brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Pear filling:
- 4 pears, cored and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp cornflour
Preheat oven to 180°C. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, combine the butter, salt, brown sugar and flour until crumbly. Mix the pears, vanilla, cinnamon, caster sugar and cornflour in a separate bowl. Place a thin layer of crumble on the bottom of a medium baking dish then pour in the pear mixture and cover with the remaining crumble mixture. Bake in the centre of the oven for about 30 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden and crunchy.
