Rhubarb and Pear Crumble

Ingredients

• Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, cold and cubed)
• Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
• Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
• Brown sugar (1/2 cup)
• Rolled oats (1/2 cup)
• All (purpose flour - 1/2 cup)
• Granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
• Pears (2 cups, peeled and sliced)
• Rhubarb (4 cups, chopped)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, sliced pears, and granulated sugar. Toss to coat the fruit evenly.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Pour the rhubarb and pear mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the crumble topping is golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
