Ingredients

6 pears

¾ cup caster sugar

Juice of 2 oranges

1½ Tbsp cornflour

1 cup pitted dates, chopped

½ cup plain flour

100g unsalted butter, softened

½ cup rolled oats

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup desiccated coconut

¼ cup shredded coconut

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground nutmeg

Ice cream, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced (200°C conventional). Peel and core the pears, then cut into wedges. Mix with the caster sugar and juice in a medium saucepan and cook gently until barely softened. Drain well, then toss with the cornflour, dates and 1 Tbsp of the liquid in a large bowl. Put into the bottom of a 2L baking dish

  2. Mix the flour and butter in a bowl, then rub with fingertips until crumbly. Add the oats, brown sugar, coconuts and spices and mix well. Add 2 Tbsp water, then scatter onto the pear mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until bubbling and golden.

  3. Meanwhile, pour the remaining pear cooking liquid into a medium saucepan and boil over a medium heat until syrupy. Serve with the warm crumble and ice cream.

Cook's tips

If you really need a super quick short cut, please don’t feel at all bad about opening a can of pear pieces in syrup and mixing in some finely grated orange zest.
