Pear & Plum Crumble

Inspired by Silvana’s plum crumble and by some plums more dead than alive that stared at me disconsolate from the fruit bowl, I put together this delicacy (modesty aside 😉 ).



Easy and quick to prepare, as all the crumbles is excellent just lukewarm; or you can serve it with some vegan whipped cream or vegan ice cream; or, if you really want to hurt yourself 😀 with some custard. Yesterday me and my “beast” had it “natural” and I think I’ll do the same this morning for breakfast with my tea.

Ingredients:
100 gr flour (I used a mixture of wholewheat, 00 and oat)
40 gr white sugar
25 gr soy butter
25 ml sunflower oil
a pinch of salt
2 pears
6 plums
80 gr sugar cane (type Dulcita)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder
a bit of apple juice
soy butter or margarine for the cake tin

Method:
I first peeled the pears, I cut them and the plums and I put them together to season in a bowl with sugar and vanilla, adding a few spoonfuls of apple juice, as the pears were a bit hard (maybe I should have first blanched them). Then, I mixed the flours with sugar, butter, oil and salt (actually I doubled the amount, I had no clue about “yield” of the dough, which has been left over and put in the freezer), to form a crumbly dough. I placed the fruit into a buttered and floured baking pan, I coated it with the crumbling and baked at 180 degrees for 40 minutes. Goooooooooood.

   This is great!!! Crumble is one of my favourite sweet treat, as in the end it’s just fruit 🙂
