Nuts over pears

This pear and almond tart dessert is inspired by the fundamentals of French pastry. Pears are poached with cinnamon and sugar, mixed with smooth almond frangipane and topped with a sprinkle of almond flakes. It’s delicate and not overly sweet and balances the comforting flavours and textures for a satisfying end to a meal.

Pear crumble

Ingredients
>> 2 pears, sliced
>> 3 tbsp brown sugar
>> 1 tsp ginger paste
>> 1 tsp lemon zest
>> 1/4 cup cranberries
>> 150 gm flour
>> 70 gm cold Amul butter
>> 1/4 cup powdered sugar
>> 1 tsp vanilla essence

Method
In a saucepan, combine the sliced pears, brown sugar, ginger paste, lemon zest, and cranberries. Cook it over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pears are soft and dry, about five to six minutes. Arrange the cooked pears in a greased baking-resistant dish. Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cold butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla essence. Rub the mixture with your fingers until its texture resembles that of coarse breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pears. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown. Enjoy it warm and simple, or elevate it with a scoop of fresh ice cream, custard, or whipped cream.
