Ingredients

2	pears	300 g
2 tsp	lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 cup	cranberries	100 g
3 1/2 tbsp	sugar	45 g
3 1/2 tbsp	brown sugar	45 g
1/3 cup	white flour (all purpose)	45 g
1/2 cup	rolled oats	45 g
1/3 cup	butter, unsalted	80 g
1/4 tsp	ground cinnamon	0.4 g
	salt	0.1 g
4 scoops	vanilla ice cream [optional]	250 mL

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 205°C/400°F.
2. Peel, core and cut the pears into bite-size pieces (about 1,5 cm). In a large bowl, toss them with the lemon juice. Add the cranberries and the granulated sugar, then toss well. Transfer the mixture to the ramekins.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, rolled oats, butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to obtain a crumbly mixture. Layer it over the fruit in the ramekins.
4. Bake in the middle of the oven until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden, about 25 min. Take the ramekins out of the oven and let them cool at least 30 min before serving with vanilla ice-cream (optional).
