Bake: Peach and Pear Crumble

This is a quick, easy dessert that I often turn to when it’s cold, wet and windy outside, and when I’m craving something sweet after dinner. With this dessert, I can also kid myself that it is healthy, as it mainly consists of fruit. I know that a crumble recipe is pretty easy to make and I’m not really reinventing the wheel here, but I thought I’d share anyway – I’ve just made up the quantities and ingredients, over time, to suit how I like it made and based on items I always have in the pantry.
