How to Make Apple And Pear Crumble

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the fruit: Peel, core, and slice apples and pears into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the fruit with lemon juice, 1/2 cup sugar, raisins, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. There should be no large chunks of butter remaining.
  6. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the crumble mixture just holds together and forms small clumps. Add more ice water if needed.
  7. Stir in the rolled oats.
  8. Spread the fruit evenly in a large (8x8 inch or 9-inch) glass or ceramic baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit, leaving some in larger chunks and some in finer crumbles.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp, and the fruit is bubbling.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or on its own!
