Stuffed Pear Crumble
Ingredients
- 2 gala apples diced
- 8 ounces frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 10 ripe bartlett pears
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 6 Tbsp margarine or 1/2 cup oil
Instructions
- Place the diced apples, cranberries, and sugar into a medium-sized pot.
- Bring fruit to a boil. The fruit will let off some liquid, no additional liquid is necessary. Simmer until the fruit congeals.
- Remove from heat.
- Combine ingredients for crumb topping in a small bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Cut pears in half and scoop out the pits plus some extra flesh. You can use a melon baller or a knife.
- Fill the cavities with fruit mixture and sprinkle generously with crumbs.
- Arrange pears in a pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a fork goes in easily.
Notes
You can also prepare this entire recipe in advance—all the components freeze beautifully, allowing you to bake it fresh, right before serving. Freeze the crumbs and fruit mixture in separate containers. Freeze prepared raw pears on a baking sheet. Once the pears are frozen, you can put them in a Ziploc Bag.
It’s a stress-free option that still feels special and freshly made.
