    📘 What is a Crumble

    A crumble, sometimes called a "crisp", is a dessert that consists of fruits baked in a dish and topped with a crunchy streusel topping.

    The topping is usually prepared using a mix of flour, sugar, butter, and sometimes oats.

    Fruits like bananas, pears, apples, kiwis, and raspberries.

    🥣 How to Make Fruit Crumble

    This recipe is pretty straightforward and requires just fresh fruits, flour, sugar, and butter!

    Preparing the Fruits

    It starts with the fruits that are peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes. Here, I went with a mix of kiwi, pears, apples, bananas, strawberries, and raspberries. You can use almost any fruit (except citrus fruits) for this crumble.

    If making this crumble in the summer, do not hesitate to make use of those juicy peaches, strawberries, and nectarines!

    1. Peel the fruits and cut the kiwi, pears, and apple into 1-inch chunks. Slice the banana into thick slices.
    2. Next, transfer the diced fruits to a baking dish, and prepare the crumble.

    Making the Crumble

    The streusel topping is a must and really takes this crumble to the next level by adding a crunchy and crispy layer that contrasts so well with the juicy fruits!

    1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and sugar.
    2. Add cold butter and use your hands to make a crumbly "dough". Try to make large crumbs as well for extra crunchiness.

    Feel free to add your favorite spices to the crumble! I'm thinking cinnamon, cardamom, or even ginger would work well!

    Assemble & Bake

    Finally, combine 1 cup of the crumble with the diced fruits. This will not only sweeten the fruits, but will also prevent the crumble from getting too juicy, and keep the streusel topping crunchy.

    Sprinkle the remaining crumble over the fruits and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown.

    🍨 What to Serve with Crumble

    This crumble is delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream, whipping cream, or a dollop of coconut cream!

    I personally prefer this crumble served chilled with vegan cashew yogurt on the side, but that is up to you!

    💬 FAQ

    • Can I make this recipe gluten-free? While I haven't tried it yet, any gluten-free flour mix should work.
    • What can I substitute for the white sugar? You can use brown sugar, or your favorite sweetener if you want to lower the sugar content.
    • Can I use frozen fruits? Yes, frozen berries like raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries work perfectly.
    • How long does this crumble keep? Crumble will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

    This fruit crumble makes a delicious dessert, but is also totally suitable for breakfast! It's also a great way to use leftover fruits!

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 pears
    • 1 apple
    • 2 kiwis
    • 2 bananas
    • 1 cup berries I used a mix of raspberries and strawberries
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • ½ cup sugar
    • ½ cup vegan butter cold

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and slightly grease a 11x7-inch baking dish.
    • Peel the pears, apple, kiwis, and bananas. Cut the fruits into 1-inch cubes and transfer to the baking dish.
    • Make the crumble: Whisk together the flour and sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Cut the vegan butter into 1-inch cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using your hands, or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour, until coarse crumbs form. Do not hesitate to make large crumbs.
    • Transfer 1 cup of the crumbles to the fruits and toss to coat. Rearrange the fruits into an even layer and top with the remaining crumbs.
    • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours if you prefer to serve it cold.
    • This crumble will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
