Apple or Pear Crumble

This is a big favorite in my house, a easy recipe that can be made in many different combination's, the main one being Apple because they are easy to come by here. 

Some of the combination's I have made include

Apple and Blackberry,

Apple and Rhubarb, 

Pear and Peaches,

Today I just made Pear crumble from some beautiful just ripe pears we brought while out going for a drive on the weekend. 

First you need to stew the fruit, just enough to make it soft but not soggy , old recipes say to add sugar to the fruit but for me there is enough natural sugar in the fruit so I just add water and gently bring them to the boil. drain and let cool.

Apples

6 to 8 Apples or Pears lightly cooked,

(I sometimes use 1 large tin pie apples)

Topping

2 Tb butter 

¾ c S.R. flour

½ c Brown sugar

Mix together with a fork or fingers to for a nice crumble mix, then sprinkle over Fruit in a pie dish or single ramekins,

cook on medium heat til golden brown, eat hot or cold yum. 

I like mine with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream ;)
