Scottish recipes - Apple & Pear Crumble


Crumble is something that I have grown up with

My mum would make us all Rhubarb Crumble, and I loved it, it was my favorite

Apple & Pear Crumble

For this recipe, I used apples and pears but you can use any great fruits such as rhubarb, peaches, strawberries, blackberries, plums or gooseberries or a combination of them. Make sure that you only stew the firmer fruits like apple and rhubarb, everything else can just go straight in the oven as is

So, crumble is a popular British dish that uses very simple ingredients, it gives a nice change from pie and pie crusts
