Ingredients

• 6 medium Ripe pears
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 100 grams Amaretti cookies
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Ground almonds
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish (approximately 9x9 inches).

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges. Place them into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon to the pears. Toss gently to coat and transfer the pear mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly.

Step 4

Place the amaretti cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them into coarse crumbs using a rolling pin. Set aside.

Step 5

In another bowl, add the flour, cold unsalted butter, and brown sugar. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the mix until it forms coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Stir the crushed amaretti cookies, ground almonds, and vanilla extract into the crumble mixture until well combined.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pear mixture in the baking dish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender.

Step 9

Remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
