Apple Pear Crumble with Caramelised Cashews
A classic dessert that never disappoints. The warm crumble and sticky, soft fruit served with vanilla ice cream is a match made in heaven. And to give it that extra crunchy Christmas touch, we’re serving it with caramalised cashews.

If you want to make a fully plant-based version, choose plant-based butter, agave or maple syrup instead of honey and select a plant-based ice-cream or simply leave the ice-cream out.
The crumble and/or caramelised cashews can be prepared fully the day before. Reheat the crumble to serve warm. No need to reheat the caramelised cashews.
Reheat crumble at destination. Don't take vanilla ice cream on a long train ride 😉
