Today’s recipe is a spur of the moment kind of recipe. I had some fresh pineapple in the fridge and some butterscotch sauce leftover from another dish and I knew they would taste delicious together. So, I came up with a quick dessert: pineapple and butterscotch crumble. We all loved it. The slight tanginess of the fruits is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the sauce. I love crumbles as the filling always gets nicely stewed and becomes soft, while the topping is crunchy and… crumbly. Yum! I served it with a dollop of double cream (though vanilla ice cream would have worked great too) to cut through the sweetness of the cake. It was definitely a great use of leftovers! 🙂 Enjoy!
