Warm Apple Pear Crumble

In the morning there was a Jenna, and the Jenna created a great multitude of desserts for Thanksgiving Day. And by the coffee press there was a note and the note said, “You may partake of the pumpkin, but you may not have the apple crumble, for that you must wait.” Now the father was also there in the morning, and the father misread the note and decided to consume the crumble and proclaimed, “Oh it’s sweet!” and shared it with the mother. And the mother said, “This is good! But this is the wrong breakfast, the Jenna will be disappointed.” And so she was, and demanded a warm fire as homage for the crumble, and it was given to her and all were satisfied.

And here is the recipe for that very crumble and it is GOOD! It even got an audible mhmm from my brother as he stood by the fire and devoured it.

Apple Pear Crumble Ingredients:

Filling:

·         1 tsp vanilla extract

·         2 large pears, peeled and cut thin

·         2 large granny smith apples, peeled and cut thin

·         The juice from 1/2th a lemon

·         2 whisked eggs

·         3 tbsp date syrup

·         2 tbsp cinnamon

·         Dash of nutmeg

·         1/8^th tsp salt

Crumble:

·         ¾ cup organic whole wheat pastry flour

·         ¾ cup oatmeal

·         ½ cup grass fed butter

·         ½ cup date syrup

·         ½ cup raisins

·         ½ cup chopped pecans and/or walnuts

·         1/8 tsp salt

·         1 tsp vanilla extract

·         1 tbsp cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare the apples and pears and add the lemon juice to them as soon as possible, in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the eggs and add to the apple mixture, then add the remaining filling ingredients.  Pour filling into a greased casserole dish (an 8*8 one would be a good size).  Then add all the crumble ingredients together and cover the filling. Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown (if this occurs early on, cover with a lid). Serve warm and enjoy!

*side note: we had this sitting in the oven on warm for hours on thanksgiving day, and leftovers the next day and it just kept getting better!
