Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the pears in a medium baking dish and toss with the caramel sauce, vanilla bean paste and 1 tbsp water to coat.
step 2

Put the flour, butter and sugar in a food processor and blitz to a crumb-like texture. Tip into a bowl and stir through the pecans. Scatter the mixture over the pears. Bake for 45 mins-1 hr until the crumble topping is crisp and the pears are tender. Serve warm with custard.

Recipe tip

If you’re using caramel sauce rather than salted caramel, add a small pinch of fine sea salt or salted butter to the crumble.
