Crumbles!

Yes, not a crumble but crumbles.

We seem to have acquired quite a store of ramekin dishes thanks to various M&S and Gu (where do I find an umlaut on this keyboard??) desserts.

So, with continuing abundance of apples and pears in hand, I set about making simple crumbles.

That means no cinammon and not much lemon juice. Partly, I've never had a pear crumble, so I wanted to see what it tasted like untainted.


I made some apple crumbles, some pear, some apple and pear, and toffee variations on those three.

I should've put more toffee in the toffee ones, but all-in-all they weren't too bad. Either warmed them and had them with cream, or with custard.

Yumalicious.

Toffee Pear Galettes

These were gobbled before I remembered to take a pic of them, but I had an abundance of apples and pears and this looked SO easy.

For the proper recipe on the Good Food website, follow the link above - essentially you require a sheet of ready rolled puff pastry, peeled and halved pears (or apples) and toffee sauce....resisting urge to say "DONE".

Halve and peel your pears (or apples - I used one of each) thinly slice, but keep joined at stalk end. Take your circles of puff pastry, spoon on your toffee sauce and fan your fruit out on top - glaze with a whisked egg. Put in a hot oven for 20mins, et voila.

Serve with cream or ice cream and devour.
