Honey Joy Pear Crumble

Soft, sweet and crunchy - it's the perfect dessert! - by Jane Ash
  • 27 May 2019
Cook: 30 Minutes - Easy - Serves 6
Proudly supported by

Autumns easiest dessert. In season and quickly off the dinner table. This sweet and crunchy dessert is sure to impress.

Ingredients

6 large William pears (about 1.2kg)

2 tablespoons caster sugar

Double cream, to serve

FOR THE CRUMBLE TOPPING

3 cups Honey Nut Corn Flakes

¾ cup quick oats

½ cup shredded coconut

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

75g unsalted butter, chopped

2 tablespoons caster sugar

2 tablespoons honey

Method

  1. Peel pears. Cut into quarters. Remove and discard cores. Cut into 3cm pieces. 

  2. Combine sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a large saucepan. Stir over a medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to boil. Add pears. Cover with lid. Simmer for about 8 minutes, or until pears are just tender. Remove. 

  3. Transfer pears to a large, shallow, ovenproof dish (8-cup capacity).

  4. To make topping, lightly crush Corn Flakes with your hands. Place in a bowl with oats, coconut and cinnamon.

  5. Combine butter, sugar and honey in a small saucepan over a low heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Bring to boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Pour over Corn Flake mixture. Mix well. Sprinkle over pears.

  6. Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for about 15 minutes, or until topping is crisp and golden brown.

  7. Serve hot with double cream.


  8. TIP:

    If you’re short on time, replace fresh pears with an 825g can of pears, sliced in natural juice. Drain and arrange over base of the ovenproof dish.
