One of my favourite dessert of the moment, fruit crumbles are great as you can really create your own with the fruits you have on the day. Being winter here, I like to use apples, pears a little banana and blueberries that I froze at the end of the summer, YUM!
You can make a family size crumble or individual ones in small ramekins which is nice for portion control!
Ingredients
Fruits: whatever you like! For family size, I use about 3 medium apples, 3 medium pears, 1 small banana and 1/4 cup frozen blueberries
Crumble:
- 50 grs butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup nuts (grind pistachios and almonds)
Method
Preheat oven at 180 degrees
Peal, core and cut the fruits you need to fill the baking dish of your choice (large or ramekins). You can sprinkle some ground cinnamon on top of the fruits if you like the taste
In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar and coconut together
Using a small mixer, grind the pistachios and almonds together just enough to keep some crunchy bits
Keep aside a small amount of the grind nuts to sprinkle on top of the baked crumble for extra crunch. Add the rest of the nuts to the flour mixture
Cut the butter in small cubes and incorporate to the flour and nut mixture. Using your fingers, work the butter until the mixture becomes crumbly
Sprinkle the crumble on top of the fruits and bake for about 30mns or until the fruits are soft
Once cooked, sprinkle the remaining of the nuts on the crumble.
Serve warm or cold on its own or with vanilla ice-cream.
