Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C (350F).
- Put the flour, sugar, ground ginger and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and use your fingers to rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Place the chopped pears and stem ginger in an ovenproof dish.
- Sprinkle with the sugar, flour and ground ginger and then drizzle with the stem ginger syrup. Dot the filling with the butter.
- Spoon the crumble topping over the dish and tap it gently on the countertop so that is settles.
- Scatter the flaked almonds and Demerara sugar over the crumble and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown on top. If the almonds are browning too much you might want to tent the crumble with some foil.
- Let the crumble cool for 5 minutes then serve warm with cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Replace the pears with apples to make an apple crumble. If you are not fond of stem ginger then leave it out and replace the ground ginger with ground cinnamon.
