Unsalted butter: I highly recommend using a high quality butter such as Kerrygold Unsalted Butter.Steel cut oats will not work in this recipe.

Rolled oats: Make sure to get flat cut rolled oats.Lemon juice: I like using fresh but bottled will also work.Feel free to adjust the sugar content based on the sweetness of the fruit and your personal preference. Keep in mind the riper the sweeter, the less ripe the more tart. Apples: I like a mix of green and red apples for this recipe but you can really use whatever you have on hand.Pastry cutter (optional): Alternatively you can use a fork or simply your hands.Peeler (optional): I love using this Oxo Peeler but you can also use a knife if that works for you.They're microwave and dishwasher safe and nest really easily. Mixing bowls: I'm a huge fan of these Pyrex Glass Mixing Bowls.10 inch casserole dish or cast iron skillet: I use this Le Creuset Ca st Iron Skillet for shooting this crumble but I also love using this Le Creuset Stoneware Baking Dish.Regardless of what you call them, all are absolutely delicious and a perfect way to make the most of our fresh, seasonal fruit! Other dessert recipes you will love. But honestly I kind of see the two as pretty interchangeable. Some people will get technical with you about differentiating between a crumble and a crisp, which I understand to usually contains nuts and other add ins. It's sometimes confused with cobbler, which actually involves a wet batter being poured on top of the fruit before baking.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Jump to:Ī crumble, as opposed to a cobbler or crisp, traditionally refers to a mixture of flour, fat and sugar baked on top of stewed fruit. This Plum and Apple Crumble is perfect for that period of time in very late summer / beginning of fall when plums and apples are at their peak. The great thing about crisps and crumbles is that you can basically utilize the same toppings recipe for any fruit that's in season! I put this crumble on top of strawberries and rhubarb, blueberries and peaches, cherries, mixed berries, you name it! Served with a scoop of ice cream it is pure heaven. I like chocolate as much as the next person but give me a fruit filled dessert any day of the week and I'm a happy lady.

This simple and delicious Plum and Apple Crumble makes the most of in-season fruit for a fresh dessert the whole family will love!Ĭrumbles, crisps, cobblers, y'all I love them all.
