Ingredients
Fruit Filling:
- 500 g (1 lb) fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 200 g (¼ lb) rhubarb, chopped into 1.5 cm pieces
- 130 g (¾ cups) sugar
- 30 g (¼ cups) plain flour, *see notes for using frozen fruit
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Crumble Topping:
- 225 g (1 ¾ cups) plain flour
- 225 g (1 cup) cold butter, cut into cubes
- 125 g (1 ½ cups) rolled oats, *not quick-cooking, see notes
- 220 g (1 ⅔ cups) demerara or caster sugar
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 175ºC.
Prepare the Fruit:
- Wash and cut the rhubarb into 1.5 cm pieces.
- Hull and quarter the strawberries (or halve if small).
- In a medium bowl, combine the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, and flour. Stir to coat the fruit evenly.
- Add the cinnamon, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well and set aside.
Make the Crumble Topping:
- In a food processor, combine the oats, cold butter, sugar, and flour. Pulse until the mixture forms a thick, crumbly texture. Ensure you have some larger chunks of oats for texture.
Assemble the Crumble:
- Spread the fruit mixture evenly in a 2-liter oven-safe dish.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit, covering it completely.
Bake:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the fruit is soft and bubbling, and the crumble is golden and crisp.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Oats: Use rolled oats for the best texture. Quick-cooking oats are too finely processed and won't give the same crunch.
- Butter: Ensure the butter is cold when making the crumble topping. This helps achieve a better texture.
- Frozen Fruit: If using frozen fruit, add an additional 10 grams of plain flour to the mixture and bake from frozen.
