Pear, chocolate and hazelnut crumble

• 份量: Serves 8-10

食材

1.4kg pears, peeled, cored and quartered

1 lemon, halved

50g butter

100g caster sugar

For the crumble:

110g butter

110g plain flour

60g brown sugar

7 tbsp whole oats

1½ tbsp milk

80g hazelnuts, roughly chopped

100g dark chocolate, roughly chopped

步驟

1 Preheat the oven to 1800C/160C fan/gas mark 4. Rub the pear quarters with the lemon halves to prevent browning.

2 Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the caster sugar and stir for 1-2 minutes. Add the pears coating them with the melted sugar and butter.

3 Cook the pears for 10-15 minutes until just tender and the sugar is caramelised. Transferthe pears and their juices into baking dish.

4 To make the crumble, rub the butter into the flour with your fingers until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

5 Stir in the sugar and oats. Add the milk and mix until lumpy. Stir through the hazelnuts and chopped chocolate.

6 Tip the crumble mixture over the pears. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned and crunchy on top. Dust with icing sugar and serve hot with ice cream.
