Pear Frenzy Part 1

Pear Crumble
Mmm Mmm Mmm. That pretty much sums up my feelings toward this crumble! I am a crumble lover, the oats and brown sugar, the crumble, the sweetness, how can you not fall in love! I especially love the nutmeg and pear together, they make a good pear (you knew there was going to be puns!) But if you're a cinnamon lover just make a switch! I would really like to thank my cousin Nicole who helped us bake and who took these fantastic pictures! I would also like to thank my Uncle Sal who provided us with these Mini Cocottes !

Mini Pear Crumbles

Everybody talks about the apple crumble...but what about pear?! I can't get my mind off pear! It's sweet, juicy, and when you put it in a crumble, IT'S FANTASTIC! Not only is it pear crumble but it's personal, you get to eat them from your own mini pot! How cute! But the flavour in this crumble is pearticularly pearfect (as my brother would say)!
