Fig And Pear Crumble

I love a crumble....so much easier than making a pie crust. :)

Remove the stems from the figs.

Quarter the figs.

Place figs in a small bowl.

Add hot water to cover.

Let stand 20 minutes.

Drain and set aside.

Place the pear wedges in a large bowl.

Sprinkle with 1 / 3 cup sugar , melted butter , 1 tbsp flour , salt , and 1 / 4 tsp cinnamon.

Toss well.

Spoon the pear mixture into a buttered 8 inch square baking dish.

Arrange the figs on top of the pear mixture.

Set aside.

Combine 1 cup flour , brown sugar , 1 / 4 cup sugar , and 1 / 4 tsp cinnamon in a medium bowl.

Stir well.

Cut in 1 / 3 cup butter with a pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly.

Sprinkle over the figs and pears.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
