6 small ripe pears, halved
¼ cup (60ml) maple syrup, plus extra, to serve
25g unsalted butter, chopped, plus 100g extra unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup (55g) caster sugar
¾ cup toasted mixed nuts (we used pecans, walnuts and hazelnuts), chopped
1 cup (150g) plain flour
½ cup (45g) rolled oats (we used Woolworths Macro rolled oats)
½ tsp allspice
Yoghurt or double cream, to serve

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Place pears in a large baking dish, so they are packed tightly. Drizzle with maple syrup and dot over 25g chopped butter, cover with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes until softened slightly.
2.

To make the crumble, place sugar, nuts, extra 100g melted butter, flour, oats and allspice in a bowl and mix to combine. Spoon the crumble topping over the pears and bake for a further 30-35 minutes, until golden and crisp. Drizzle with extra maple syrup and serve with yoghurt or cream alongside.
