A warm and comforting pear crumble bursting with the sweet spice of cardamom, perfect for cozy winter days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced pears, granulated sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the pears evenly.
  3. Pour the pear mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and salt for the crumble topping.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender, your fingertips, or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in the chopped nuts, if using.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pear mixture in the baking dish.
  8. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender and bubbly.
  9. Let the crumble cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • You can adjust the amount of cardamom to your preference.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
