Step 1

Preheat the oven to 160˚C, gas mark 3. Toss all the apples with the cornflour until it’s mostly absorbed, then place in a saucepan with the sugar, lemon juice and 200ml water. Cook for 5 minutes, until softened but not mushy, then turn off the heat, stir in the pears and lemon zest and tip into a baking dish (about 1-1.5 litres in volume).

For the topping, mix the flour, spices and oats in a bowl, then rub in the butter to a crumbly mixture. Stir in the sugars, hazelnuts and a pinch of salt, then scatter over the fruit. Sprinkle with a little extra demerara sugar and bake for 50-60 minutes, until golden.
