Servings: 4 people
Equipment
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 600 g ripe pears (approx 6-7 pears)
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
For the crumble topping:
- 200 g gluten free self-raising flour
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 75 g light brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180'C / Fan 160C / Gas Mark 4.
- Peel and core the pears then cut into 1-2cm chunks. You want enough to cover the base of a 20cm pie dish in a thick layer with no gaps.
- Place the pear chunks in the pie dish and then add the sugar, cinnamon and ginger. Mix together then set to one side.
- Make the crumble by adding the butter, sugar and flour into a large mixing bowl. Use your fingers to rub the mix together until it forms a breadcrumb consistency.
- Pour the crumble over the fruit, making sure the fruit is all covered.
- Place in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the crumble is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling underneath. You want the fruit to be soft but with a little bite. Remove from the oven and serve hot with custard or ice-cream.
Notes
- Variations: Try adding some gluten free granola or oats to your crumble topping. You can also try a 50:50 ratio of apples and pears for the filling.
- No Self-Raising Flour? If you only have plain (all purpose) gluten free flour, simply add 1.5 tsp of gluten free baking powder (baking soda) to the flour and mix well before adding to the crumble.
- Storing and Freezing: Leftovers of this gluten free crumble can be kept in the fridge and reheated (or eaten cold). You can also freeze them and reheat to eat.
- Weighing Scales vs Cups: You can toggle this recipe card to convert the ingredients into cups. However, I always recommend using weighing scales – these are cheap to buy and much more accurate. And in gluten free baking, a tiny variation can make a huge difference!
