Crumble is a dessert that is particularly popular in English and American cuisine. The word "crumble" means nothing more than streusel or crumbs. In a fruit crumble, the crumbs serve as a topping over the fruit. When food was scarce during the Second World War, the base was omitted due to a lack of baking ingredients, and a little dough was sprinkled over the fruit. This is how the crumble was born. Important for a fruit crumble are, of course, the fruit and the streusel, which consist of flour, butter, and sugar.

Fruit Crumble Recipe

You can vary the fruit incredibly well and incorporate your personal taste. You can certainly also enhance the crumble with a teaspoon of baking agent so that the streusel becomes a little airier and larger. If you don't like cinnamon, you can also add a little vanilla or lemon flavoring or even a little cocoa powder – there are hardly any limits to the possibilities. Experimenting is therefore encouraged so that everyone can conjure up their own favorite crumble.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. For the fruit you can actually use just about anything offered at the local supermarket or on the farmers' market.

  2. It's especially delicious with red fruits, but crunchy apples or pears, even rhubarb or pineapple, are also excellent for a Crumble.

  3. For this variation frozen raspberries were used, which fit and taste just as good.

  4. First, put the frozen fruit into a bowl and cover it with about 100 g of the sugar.

  5. Now stir this mixture thoroughly and let it steep.

  6. Less sugar is deliberately used here in order not to suppress the natural acidity of the berries.

  7. In the meantime the crumble is prepared.

  8. For this, place the flour, butter, oats, the remaining sugar and the cinnamon in a sufficiently large bowl.

  9. Now you can work the mixture with a hand mixer (use dough hooks here) until a nice crumbly dough forms.

  10. Of course it's also fine to work the dough with your hands.

  11. That works just as well and quite quickly by hand.

  12. After the fruit has been arranged in a suitable baking dish, the crumble topping is now used.

  13. For this, simply crumble the mixture over the fruit layer or even form a few crumble clumps and place them as highlights.

  14. Then put the dish in the preheated oven at 180°C (top and bottom heat).

  15. For the next 40–45 minutes the crumb topping can become nice and crispy and crunchy – the real purpose of the preparation.

  16. After baking you can either let the fruit crumble cool or serve it warm.

  17. A few scoops of vanilla ice cream taste particularly good with it when served warm.

  18. Vanilla sauce is also a great tip for the cold or warm variant.

Tips & Notes

You can vary the fruit hugely and add your personal taste. You can certainly also enhance the crumbles well with my teaspoon of baking agent so that the crumbs become a little airier and larger. If you don't like cinnamon, you can also add a bit of vanilla or lemon flavoring or even some cocoa powder – the possibilities are almost limitless.
