INGREDIENTS

 For the filling

  • 4 large apples, peeled and cored
  • 4 pears, peeled and cored
  • 4 pitted Medjool dates, chopped
  • 125g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 125g dark soft brown sugar
  • 1 orange, zest and juice
  • 2 tbsp Drambuie Whisky Liqueur

 

For the topping 

  • 100g unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 100g plain flour

  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp mixed spice
  • 100g oats
  • 3 tbsp Demerara sugar
  • 2 tbsp runny heather honey

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC / 180ºC fan / gas mark 4. Lightly grease 6 ramekins.

2. Chop the apples and pears into bite-size pieces. Place into a saucepan with the dates, butter, sugar, and the orange juice and zest. Heat gently for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fruit is just beginning to soften. Stir through the Drambuie. Set aside.

3. In a bowl, use your fingertips to rub together the chilled butter and the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the spices, oats and sugar and mix to combine. Drizzle over the honey then use a butter knife to mix together until it begins to make clumps.

4. Spoon the fruit mix into the ramekins then sprinkle over the crumble mix.

5. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.
