Basic Crumble Mix Recipes

QUICK CRUMBLE MIX

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix together the fruit and granulated sugar (you will need less sugar for canned fruit) so it's evenly coated. Tip into a pie dish where it fits snugly.
• Rub the butter into the flour to make a light breadcrumb texture. Do not overwork it or the crumble will become heavy. Add in the demerara sugar until combined and spread over the fruit until completely covered.
• Bake for 35-50 mins until golden brown and bubbling, and the fruit is tender. Leave to cool for 5 mins before serving.

CRUMB TOPPING FOR PIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar and flour. Mix in butter with a fork or stand mixer just until the topping is crumbly. Top your pie before baking.

CRUMBLE MIX

Steps:

• Measure flour into a microwave-proof bowl.
• Add the butter to the flour (just plonk it in in one big lump if you want!) Pop bowl with butter and flour in the microwave for between 10 and 20 seconds to soften butter.
• Use a fork to blend flour and butter until the mix texture resembles breadcrumbs.
• Add sugar and mix together with a fork.
• Sprinkle over crumble filling of your choice in an oven-proof pie dish (Apple and rasin, rhubarb and ground ginger, peaches and raspberries are some of my favourtie fillings. Fresh fruits will need to be par-cooked- pop in microwave covered and with a spoon or two of water after peeling/chopping for a few minutes- before spri) Bake in oven at 180 degrees Celcius for about 30 minutes.
• Serve hot or cold with fresh cream or ice cream.
• YUM!
