Method
Based on 6 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
For the crumble topping, combine the flour, half of the sugar, oats, pumpkin seeds, almonds, spices and a pinch of salt in a bowl, then pour over the melted butter, reserving 3 tbsp back (if cooking for 6). Mix well. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
Step 2
Butter a large ceramic baking dish. Combine the pears, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and the remaining 3 tbsp of butter in a medium pan, then set over a low heat. Cook for 4-5 mins, gently stirring, until the pears have released some juice and are slightly softened, but not falling apart. Remove from the heat and tip into the dish along with half the cooking juices released into the pan. Dot the blackberries among the filling.
Step 3
Scatter the crumble topping all over the filling, then bake for 25-30 mins until golden, crisp and bubbling at the edges. Leave to stand for 10 mins before serving with custard that should be warmed through (or not) according to the packet instructions.
