Apple and Pear Crumble Dessert Calzone

The crumble can be considered one of the UK’s favorite desserts, and we think adapting it into a tasty dessert calzone gives it an extra special touch. It’s a warming dessert that's super comforting, blending sweet and salty in all the right ways.

Simple and delicious, Batty pays tribute to this old-school classic by cooking the fruit in butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. The fruit is then lightly stewed, just enough for the butter and sugar to caramelize, coating the apples and pears in an incredible sauce. Then there’s the crispy oat crumble on top, reimagined using jumbo oats, honey and chopped nuts that have been pan-fried; a perfect way to add texture and crunch. And finally, there’s the salted caramel, a perfect companion for any dessert. We like to add a big scoop of it inside the calzone, plus another hefty spoonful drizzled over the baked calzone. Heart and stomach-warming, this decadent dessert knows no borders.

Note

This recipe would suit a variety of pizza styles, but we think our neo-Neapolitan or classic pizza dough all work well, just be sure to set aside 3 to 4 hours for prep and proving. After making the filling, be sure it’s at room temperature before placing it in the dough. The filling should be well-cooked but not runny, otherwise, the dough won’t cook sufficiently.
