Would you like a little piece of dessert? Do you know some good crumble recipes? If not, this one is simple, seasonal, and comforting! As for fruit, there isn’t a wide selection right now, especially if we are to avoid exotic fruits… So we have to choose between apples (eaten year-round) and pears (particularly tasty). Let’s go for pears! There are many choices in pears… Choose ones that stay firm when cooked and smell fragrant, with a good balance of sugar and acidity.
Pears brown slowly with a little butter and vanilla, then finish baking in a crunchy crumb made of walnuts and hazelnuts. Serve these crumbles still warm with a good knob of heavy cream…
