So in a small saucepan I mixed together 4 small pears and 2 apples, peeled and finely diced, and a large handful of sultanas. I added about 3 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of water and if I'm really honest about 2 teaspoons of mixed spice because I really like the Christmassy flavour. Then I simmered it all together for about 10 minutes. As you can see from the picture I have these individual aluminium baking cases which I spread the mixture across.
Grabbing the crumble bag out of the freezer I sprinkled some on top of each pear mix and popped it in the oven for about fifteen minutes to get some colour on top.
The topping is plain flour, sugar, shredded coconut, and rolled oats mixed with butter. I couldn't possibly tell you the measurements because I do this by feel. But If I had to guess I'd say 1/3c flour, 1/4 c coconut, 1/4c oats, 1/4c sugar, and 3 tablespoons of butter.
Once the mini crumbles cool I wrapped them in foil, labelled them and popped them in the freezer. They'll be great for quick snacks warmed up in the oven, or to take to work and eat cold.
So give these a shot, or use your own fillings, they are easily customisable to your favourite fruits or flavours.
