Best Crumble Topping

Crumbles are a great comfort food and a fab way to teach children and non cooks how to make a dessert on their own. It covers the basic skill of peeling, coring, chopping and in some cases even frying.

After making another batch of my Crunchies, I wondered if the mixture would work as a crumble topping.  The good news is with one tweak this is the most delicious crumble topping.

I made my crumble by adding chopped fresh apples and pears into an oven proof dish and adding a sprinkling of cinnamon over the fruit. I felt with the amount of sugar in the topping the fruit, didn’t need anymore sugar added. Then I simply scattered the crumble mixture over the fruit. If you use any fruit that may require more than the 20 minutes of cooking time which the topping needs to cook, poach or fry your fruit before baking.

This is a wonderful dessert after a Sunday roast and other comfort foods. The crumble can be made with gluten free flour and oats for celiacs and by replacing the butter with a sunflower spread you can serve vegan friends and family too.
