Saffron Pear and Apple Crumble

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2

   Peel, core, and dice the apples and pears into small cubes. Place them in a medium baking dish.

3. 3

   Sprinkle the diced fruit with ground cinnamon and saffron threads. Toss gently to combine and evenly distribute the spices.

4. 4

   In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and chopped pistachios.

5. 5

   Add the unsalted butter (cold and diced) to the oat mixture. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

6. 6

   Evenly spread the crumble mixture over the fruit in the baking dish.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
