Pineapple Pear Crumble
Oh boy, this crumble is so delicious and yet so easy to prepare. It's easy to pack a couple of tins of pineapple when you are travelling and the juice from the tins creates a beautiful syrup. You can also make the components ahead of time and assemble on the road. Cook it up whenever you are ready for a delicious fresh dessert.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "This is a really tasty gluten free treat! The earthiness of the sunflower seeds is really nice in the crumble. I’ve never included tin pineapple in a crumble before, but I would most definitely do again as it does provide a lovely syrup. I’ve made a crumble in a camp oven over the fire before and it is superb!" - Sally-Ann
