Ingredients

For the fruit filling

  • 650 g (4 cups) mixed frozen berries
  • 130 g ( cups) demerara or caster sugar
  • 30 g (¼ cups) plain flour

For the topping

  • 225 g (1 5/7 cups) plain flour
  • 225 g (1 cups) butter, cold cut into cubes
  • 125 g (1 ½ cups) rolled oats, not quick cooking
  • 250 g (1 ⅕ cups) demerara or caster sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160ºC.
  • Stir the fruit with the demerara sugar and the flour. The flour is what helps to thicken all the fruit juice as the crumble bakes. *See notes on using fresh fruit
  • Simply add the oats, butter, sugar and flour to a food processor and pulse until a thick crumble forms. *See notes
  • Place the fruit in an oven safe dish. About a 2l capacity is the size you’ll need. Once the fruit is evenly spread over the dish, place the crumble on top to cover the fruit. This recipe makes a lot of crumble topping so, you can freeze some of it for making crumble at a later date.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, until the fruit is soft and juicy and the crumble topping is golden and crisp. Let cool for a few minutes before topping with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Add any spices or nuts to the crumble topping while mixing it and to the fruit filling before baking.
  • If the topping is too dry add a little more butter to the topping. You can also add a tablespoon or two of milk or cream.
