The Crumble That Disappeared
Ingredients
Crumble topping & base:
- 100 g old-fashioned oats (about 1 cup)
- 180 g all-purpose flour (about 1½ cups)
- 60 g brown sugar
- 2 tsp erythritol (or other sweetener)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 130 g cold butter, cubed
Fruit filling: - 600–700 g mixed fruit (fresh or frozen) – like strawberries, blueberries, etc.
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp brown sugar
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix all crumble ingredients: oats, flour, sugars, baking powder, salt, and cold butter. Blend or rub together with fingers until crumbly lumps form.
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- Press half of the crumble mixture into the bottom and edges of the dish. Use a flat glass to press it down evenly.
- In another bowl, toss the fruit with cornstarch, cinnamon, and brown sugar. It doesn’t matter if the fruit is fresh or frozen.
- Pour the fruit over the base and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the rest of the crumble mixture on top.
- Bake at 380°F (195°C) for about 50 minutes, until golden on top and bubbling.
- Serve warm or cooled, with yogurt or ice cream.
- If – by a miracle – it survives the night, reheat in the microwave the next day.
