Preparation

Step 1

Hello from heatwave land. It’s going to be 100 degrees today in Los Angeles. And then 101 tomorrow. I can barely compute these numbers in late-ish October and frankly, they make me angry.

I feel like we’ve deserved it this year. This recipe is from

I added some apple because why not but really it’s the same recipe. I hope you love this recipe. The crumble top has a simple mix of burnt butter, yes, very burnt butter (it tastes so good), walnuts and rolled oats.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a 8 x 8-inch baking dish (or something equivalent), add the pears, apples, white sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, minced fresh ginger, vanilla extract and salt. Toss until pears are thoroughly coated. Set aside.

To a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, oat flakes and chopped walnuts.

In a small saucepan, set over medium-high heat, add the cubed butter. Brown the butter until it goes from yellow and bubbling to a very, very dark brown color. It might appear burnt and it is, but not to worry, it'll taste delicious. Pour the burnt butter into the medium bowl that's holding the flour and oat mixture. Using a spoon, mix the mixture until clumpy and everything is coated in butter. Pour the crumble atop the filling and spread it out evenly. Transfer it to the oven to bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the crumble is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
