Pear and rum crumble preparation:

1/ Peel, core and chop the pears.

2/ Place them in a bowl, sprinkle with vanilla sugar and drizzle with a little rum. Leave to macerate for 45 minutes.

3/ Line the bottom of a suitable tin (a casserole dish or cake tin) with the buttered pear pieces and bake at 180°C for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pears have cooked and the juice has reduced.

4/ Pour the flour, caster sugar and soft butter cut into pieces into a bowl and mix with your fingers until you have a sandy dough (you can also use a food processor to mix the dough, in which case add all the ingredients and blend until smooth).

5/ After 15-20 minutes, remove the dish from the oven and cover with the crumble mixture for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

6/ Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream 😉
