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

   Peel, core, and dice the apples and pears into bite-sized pieces.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples and pears with 1 tablespoon (14g) of the unsalted butter, garam masala, ground ginger, and half of the brown sugar (50g). Toss well to coat the fruit evenly.

4. 4

   Add the remaining 1 tablespoon (14g) of unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

   Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
