Description
A delightful seasonal dessert featuring tender pears, tart cranberries, and a crunchy, buttery almond crumble topping.
Ingredients
6 large Bosc pears, peeled and sliced
1.5 cups fresh cranberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced pears and cranberries with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon until evenly coated.
Step 3: Spread the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
Step 4: In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, brown sugar, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 5: Gently stir in the sliced almonds into the crumble mixture.
Step 6: Sprinkle the almond topping evenly over the fruit in the baking dish.
Step 7: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Step 8: Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to set.
