You will need a lightly buttered 1.5 litre ovenproof dish or 4 individual ovenproof pudding bowls.

Ingredients

3 pears, around 600g

For the Crumble

Method

To make the crumble, briefly whizz the Rankin Cinnamon and Raisin Loaf and butter in the blender or food processor until crumbly. Stir in the cinnamon, sugar and almonds.
