FRUIT PLATE CRUMBLE

THIS DELICIOUS FRUIT CRUMBLE FROM SAM PARISH IS QUICK, EASY AND FREEZER FRIENDLY – AN IDEAL WARMING WINTER DESSERT.

SAM SAYS:

After making a bulk crumb and storing it in the freezer, it’s just a matter of cutting some off and popping it on top of the fruit before it hits the oven. Convenience is king when it comes to this crumble.

PREP TIME: 15 minutes

COOK TIME: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

500 g fruit of choice, fresh, frozen or tinned (I went for a combo of frozen strawberries, cherries, blueberries and canned apricots)

⅓ cup (80 g) firmly packed brown sugar

¼ cup (60 ml) triple sec, or sub with fruit juice

1 sprig rosemary cream, yoghurt or ice cream to serve

BULK CRUMBLE MIXTURE:

250 g butter, melted

1 ¼ cup (300 g) firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup (200 g) plain flour

1 cup (100 g) shredded coconut

1 cup (100 g) rolled oats pinch of flaky salt

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 200°C fan forced.

Toss fruit, sugar, triple sec and rosemary in a bowl and leave to stand and macerate for 5 to 10 minutes while you prepare the crumble.

For the crumble, combine all ingredients in a bowl.

Divide fruit mixture among 4 shallow ovenproof plates or one large 3-cup capacity baking dish. Scatter enough crumble to just cover your fruit, then freeze the remaining crumble mix either as one piece to cut from or in separate containers or snap lock bags for future use.

Bake fruit crumbles for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden and bubbling and the fruit has softened. Serve with cream, yoghurt or ice cream.
