Instructions
a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
b) Quarter the pears lengthways (no need to peel), remove the core and chop into 2cm chunks.
c) Roughly crush the hazelnuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.
d) Zest and halve the lemon.
a) Cut the butter into small cubes. Leave half of it out for the pears and pop the other half into the fridge to keep chilled for the crumble.
b) Heat a large frying pan on medium heat and melt the butter for the pears.
c) When the butter starts to sizzle, add the chopped pears, cinnamon and half of the caster sugar to the pan.
d) Cook, stirring regularly, until the sugar melts and the pears start to soften, 4-5 mins.
a) Whilst the pears cook, pop the remaining butter into a medium bowl with the flour.
b) Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
c) Stir the chocolate chips, crushed hazelnuts and the remaining sugar into the flour. This is your crumble topping!
a) Add the lemon zest, squeeze in the lemon juice (see ingredients for amount) and stir to combine. Allow the pear mixture to cook for a further 1-2 mins.
b) Once the pears are softened, transfer the pear mixture, with all the sugary juices, into an appropriately sized ovenproof dish.
a) Evenly cover the pears with the crumble mixture.
a) Bake your pear crumble on the top shelf of your oven until golden and bubbling, 25-30 mins.
a) Once baked, divide the pear, chocolate and hazelnut crumble between your bowls and serve with a generous dollop of the creme fraiche alongside.
Enjoy!
