Pear & Apple Crumble Pie

The second Pie instalment of national Pie Week (2nd-7th march 2020) is a beautiful hybrid dessert; I have brought together the warmth of an apple pie and the nostalgia of an apple crumble with the addition of velvety pears.

Ingredients

• 6 Apples

• 6 Pears

• Light Brown Sugar

• Agave Syrup

• Plain Flour

• Ground Cinnamon

• Lemon Juice

• Unsalted Butter

• Cornflour

• Biscuits ( My usual choice is Digestives and Hob nobs, Asda brand)

• Pre- rolled shortcrust pastry

Add the chopped apples and pears to a pan with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 table spoons of ground cinnamon.

Cook on a medium heat for 8-10 mins.

Take out the apples and pears of the liquid and add 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup Agave syrup, Lemon Juice and cornflour (mixed with a bit of cold water) bring to a boil whilst stirring consistently.

Add the apple and pears back into the pot with the sauce and coat all the fruit in it.

Mix 400g of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar and grated butter to a bowl and mix together until you get a breadcrumb like consistency then add the crushed biscuits to the mix and combine all together.

Roll out the shortcrust pastry and line the pie tin/dish with the crust and get rid of excess pastry on the edges; fill with the coated apple and pears and top off with your crumble mix.

Put into a preheated oven and bake for 20 mins on 200 degrees celsius.

Serve and Enjoy.

& now you get to eat the most delicious crumble pie you will ever get to eat.
