As mentioned in my previous post, my new Iron Chef’s and I made a dessert. I had an excess of pears so a pear crumble was on the menu!
It was a night of Donna Hay recipes!

Rather simple to prepare and a huge hit with the crowd. We had an extra guest for dessert who was on a study break and I think the sugar helped her study a bit harder!

Pear and maple syrup = delicious!!

4 pears (1kg),chopped
1/2 cup (100g) raisins
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1.5 tablespoons maple syrup
topping
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup almond meal
20g butter, softened
1/4 cup maple syrup

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

2. Combine the pears, raisins, sugar and maple syrup. Place in 4 x 1.75cup capacity ovenproof dishes.

3. To make the topping combine the oats, almond meal, butter and maple syrup. Pile the mixture on top of the fruit. Cook for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden and crisp and the pears are soft.

Serves 4.
