Ingredients

  • 2 pears
  • 1 apple
  • 2 nectarines
  • ½ lemon, juice only
  • 1 banana, roughly chopped into discs
  • 3 tbsp golden caster sugar
  • 7oz plain flour
  • 3½oz butter
  • 2¼oz rolled oats
  • 1 large handful pumpkin seeds
  • 1oz flaked almonds
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 4 tbsp demerara sugar

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F before you prepare the fruit.
  2. Chop the pears, the apple and the nectarines, put them in a pan over low heat with the lemon juice and warm them through gently for 10 minutes so they begin to soften.
  3. Rub the plain flour and butter together with your fingertips in a bowl until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then stir in the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, flaked almonds, sesame seeds and demerara sugar to finish the crumble topping.
  4. Tip the warmed fruit into a small roasting tin, layer the roughly chopped banana discs over it and sprinkle the golden caster sugar across the surface.
  5. Scatter the crumble mixture evenly over the fruit and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the topping is golden brown, then serve the crumble immediately with cream or custard.
