Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the pear chunks into a 23 cm round or 20 cm square baking dish and toss with ¼ tsp cardamom and 2 tbsp of the sugar, spreading out evenly.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and oats. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in the remaining sugar.
Step 3
Scatter the oat mixture evenly over the pears and bake for 40-45 mins, until golden. Serve the crumble with custard, if liked (or try it with ice cream or cream). Keep leftovers covered and chilled in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat to warm through before serving.
