Adrien’s Crumble


Ingredients

For two oven dishes of 8″ x 6″ or one of 8″ x 12″.

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (e.g. muscovado, any type of sticky sugar will work, yet brown sugar gives a nice caramel flavor)
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 stick of butter (cold)
  • Seasonal fruit of choice
    • Pear and (blue)berries
    • Strawberry and rhubarb
    • Apple and raisins
  • Spices of choice: cinnamon, cardamom, …

Instructions

When using frozen fruit, let it thaw in a sieve over a bowl and discard the released juice. This will prevent the fruit from turning into jam during baking.

Preheat the oven to 360F.

Wash/peel the fruit if necessary and cut into pieces of about 1/2 inch.

Add any spices of your liking and transfer the fruit to the oven dish(es).

Mix all dry ingredients for the crumble topping in a bowl.

Roughly grate the butter or cut into small cubes. Combine the butter with the dry ingredients using your hands unti you get a crumbly dough.

Divide the crumble topping over the fruit. Bake the crumble in the oven for 20 – 25 min. Serve warm.

TIP

Leftover crumble topping stores very well in the freezer.
