Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Put the flour in a mixing bowl and add the spread in small chunks. Rub the spread into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles large breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and hazelnuts.
  2. Roughly chop the pears into 2cm chunks. Transfer to a baking dish (about 30 x 20cm) with the reserved juice and add the mincemeat. Stir until well combined and spread out in an even layer.
  3. Sprinkle over the crumble and bake for 25-30 mins until golden and bubbling. Serve with dairy-free custard or ice cream.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines

The crumble topping can be made ahead and frozen. No need to defrost, just sprinkle over the filling before baking. In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.
