Made with Oat Scone Mix
Contributed by: Joy Jones

So beautifully simple and delicious, a authentic pre-industrial desert that is unbelievably fast and easy to make, and about the healthiest desert you can imagine! Of course, we like it best with ice cream :-). All you do is make up the usual oat scone mixture, except instead of forming it you crumble it over the fruit and bake. That's it!

INGREDIENTS

The scone mixture

• 500g bag of Old Scottish Oat Scone Mix (less 3 Tbsp for fruit below)
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, very cold and grated
• 3 large eggs
• 1/3 cup cream

For the fruit mixture

• 6 medium pears or apples, cored and cut into thin slices
• 3 Tbsp scone mixture

INSTRUCTIONS

1. core pears and/or apples and slice them into a medium ovenproof dish (about 8 x 8 in should do it)
2. toss the fruit with 3 Tbsp scone mixture and set aside
3. add scone mix to a large mixing bowl; coarsely grate VERY COLD butter into bowl, mix gently with fork
4. in a small bowl, beat eggs and cream and then add to scone mixture
5. mix gently and crumble on top of fruit
6. bake at 375°F until browned and fruit bubbles slightly, about 25-30 min
