This great dessert is from The New Vegetarian Epicure. I've used it with several combinations of fruit - basically whatever I have on hand - and it's always been good. While the apple and pear combination is excellent, I've also had great results with mixed berries (strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, cherries). An easy dessert with ingredients you probably have on hand.
04Cut in the butter and mix till mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. There should be no big chunks of butter left. (I usually do this with my hands - don't have a food processor).
05Sprinkle in the ice water, mix till the crumble mixture holds together and forms little clumps.
06Add the rolled oats and mix. If the mixture seems sticky, add more oats.
07Spread fruit evenly in a large glass or ceramic baking dish.
08Scatter topping evenly over the fruit, leaving some of it in larger chunks and some in fine crumbles.
09Bake the Crumble at 375 for about 40-45 minutes or until the top is crisp and brown and the juice is bubbling up around the edges.
10Serve it hot or warm, with ice cream, whipped cream, or all by itself.
