Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Put the chopped apples, lemon zest, rosemary, if using, and sugar in a saucepan. Add the lemon juice and cook for 3-4 mins. Tip in the pears and cook 2-3 mins more, until the fruits are just beginning to soften. Spoon the fruits and juices into a 1.7 litre pudding dish and flatten slightly.
  2. For the crumble, finely chop half the walnuts in a food processor until reduced to the consistency of ground almonds. Add the flour, butter and sugar and continue to blitz to a coarse or fine crumble mix, whichever you prefer.
  3. Roughly break the remaining walnuts with your fingers and stir into the crumble. Scatter the crumble mix on top of the fruits and bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown. Serve warm with cream or custard.

    One of the best crumbles I have made. The rosemary and lemon just do something special to the fruit.

    Great combo - I loved the way the apples n pears smelt when they were cooking with the lemon zest & rosemary, very interesting. I wonder how I could've made it more gooey? I used pecan nuts and sliced almonds in the crumble which worked well - a nice addition to the crumble mixture. Some cinnamon would've been good!
