About the Recipe
Delicate, golden, and quietly sophisticated, this pear & seed crumble reimagines a classic comfort dessert with a refined twist. Ripe pears bake into a soft, fragrant filling, while the seeds lend a subtle nuttiness that deepens the flavor and adds gentle texture. Finished with a buttery crumble topping, it’s a breakfast or a dessert that feels both familiar and refreshingly new, effortless to make, yet impressive enough to serve at any table!
