Ingredients
Scale
For the crumble
- 31.7 oz (900 g) pears
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 6 oz (175 g) all-purpose flour
- 1.7 oz (50 g) ground almonds
- 2.6 oz (75 g) butter
- 2.8 oz (80 g) sugar
- pinch of cardamom
For caramel sauce
- 2.8 oz (80 g) sugar
- 0.4 cups (100 ml) heavy cream
- 1 tsp butter
Instructions
- Wash and peal pears. Dice them, combine with brown sugar and cardamom and cook on low heat until they soften. Their juices will be reduced with sugar into a beautiful thick syrup. Do not discard it: put all together into a buttered baking dish (or use individual small ramekins).
- Combine flour with sugar and ground almonds. Add butter cut into cubes and crumble it with your fingers until you get coarse crumbs. Spread over pears. Don’t press with fingers.
- Preheat oven to 356 F (180 C). Bake for 30-40 min. until nicely golden brown.
- Cook sugar in a pan with thick bottom, on low heat, until dissolved completely and brown. Add heavy cream, stir and cook on low heat until it turns into a creamy mixture. Do not get alarmed with lumps, just continue stirring.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter.
- Use leftover caramel as ice cream sauce.
