Fruit crumble is a tasty dessert that can be eaten at any time of year. You can use both fresh and frozen fruits to make your crumble, and it's a great way of using fruits that aren't quite fresh enough to eat raw. Almost any fruit can be put in a fruit crumble, so don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations.
Edit Ingredients
Crumble topping:
- 150g (5.3 oz) plain (all-purpose) flour
- 75g (2.6 oz) butter (or margarine)
- 50g (1.7 oz) sugar
Fruit filling:
- 450g (15.8 oz) fruit (avoid citrus fruits, but most other fruits are good to use)
- 50-75g (1.7 oz to 2.6 oz) sugar (to sweeten)
To serve:
- Custard, cream or ice cream
Edit Steps
- Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Add the flour and butter to a mixing bowl.
- Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles bread crumbs.
- Stir the sugar into the crumble and set the bowl to one side.
- Wash and prepare the fruit.
- Peel any fruits with thick skins.
- Chop large fruits into chunks.
- Add the fruit to an oven-proof dish.
- Sprinkle the fruit with sugar. The amount you need will depend on the sweetness of the fruits you have added, very sweet fruits will need very little sugar, while fruits such as cooking apples will require more.
- Shake the dish to ensure the sugar is distributed through the fruits and that the fruits are spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the fruit so that it is evenly covered.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the crumble has turned golden.
- Serve hot with custard, or cold with cream or ice cream.
Edit Tips
- Try pouring a little diluted honey over the fruit instead of sugar to give more depth to the flavour.
- Spices like cinnamon and nutmeg make great additions, especially in the winter. Add a little to the flour and to the sugar you sprinkle over the fruit.
