Roasted Pear Crumble by Chez Us

*inspired by Bon Appetit

** serves 4

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe but still firm Red Bartlett pears
• olive oil
• 1/2 cup pistachios, shelled
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons maple shavings from Tonewood Maple Cube
• 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

How To:

 

1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Cut the pears in half and core.  Place in a baking dish.
3. Lightly drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each half.
4. Place in the oven and roast for 15 – 20 minutes until slightly golden and soft.
5. Remove from the oven and set aside.
6. While the pears are roasting toss the pistachios, oats, maple shavings and 1 tablespoon of olive oil together in a mixing bowl.  Spread out on a baking sheet.
7. Toast until golden, stirring often to prevent burning.  It will only take about 5 – 8 minutes.  Let cool.
8. Place a dollop of mascarpone cheese on a serving place and top with a pear half.  Sprinkle with the crumble mixture.
9. Serve.
10. Eat.
