Apple crumble
Loading...SKILL LEVEL :
Easy and quickOne of my year-round favorite desserts is a fruit crumble. In the summer I make crumbles with fresh peaches, nectarines, cherries and berries. In the winter I use apples and pears. If you use a food processor it takes just a few minutes to prepare and is always a crowd-pleaser. I like to bake a large crumble that will feed 10 or more in my 12" round Spanish cazeula. If you don't have a cazuela, use a 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish. If there are leftovers, this fruit crumble makes a darn good breakfast with a hot cup of coffee.

Is it a crisp or a crumble?
There is a lot of controversy over what the difference is between a crisp and a crumble. To me the difference is a crumble includes oatmeal and possibly nuts. A crisp has neither.
My inspiration for this flexible recipe comes from Bradley Ogden's Nectarine and Blueberry Crisp in his Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner cookbook.

Thank you so much!
Such a crowd pleaser and so easy to make. Use any combination
of berries, apples, blueberries ect that are in season. And of course
have a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to top off!
I agree. This recipe works for a variety of berries, apples and stone fruit and the crumble is always better when topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Thank you for sharing.
