The Bread Winner is a dessert lover. Which is unfortunate for him because I am not much of a dessert maker. Not something I grew up with so not something that often occurs to me to make. On the bright side, he does love a crumble and they are super quick and easy to make.
I have a basic formula and I vary it according to what I have in the house. It goes like this.
- Grease a baking dish
- Put fruit on the bottom
- Top with crumble mixture (1/2 cup plain flour, 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup muscovado; rub flour and butter together to breadcrumb consistency and mix oats through)
- Bake in a moderate oven for about half an hour
I usually combine the flour and (chilled) butter in the thermomix on roughly speed 6.
What could be easier?
This weeks variation used chestnut flour because I’m trying to use it up and a mix of home grown and bottled peaches, home grown rhubarb and farmers market strawberries. The verdict was delicious, with a side serving of bugger we’ve run out of cream.
This is a favourite winter dessert in this house, too! I tend to make my crumble in the food processor and add some nuts to the mix.

I love the idea of adding nuts Cindy. Must try that next time.
I looooove crumble. This is the recipe I use for my topping, the walnuts give it a bit of yummy omph http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/17794/apple+crumble. My plate-lickers don’t seem to half mind it either 😉
yum JJ, love walnuts, too lazy to shell them as a rule when I make crumble though and I don’t like buying them pre-shelled. Another one of my weird phobias LOL
Crumble is my fave dessert. And I’m not a dessert maker either. Chestnut flour sounds good as an alternative. I make mine gluten free with oats, brown sugar, almond meal, and butter.

That sounds delish Docwitch. I buy bulk organic oats and I keep meaning to check if they’re gluten free but I’m reasonably sure they’re processed in the same place as wheat.
Sorry guys, but oats aren’t gluten free – they are easier to tolerate though if your problem is with wheat rather than Gluten.
Thanks Dale. We’re a gluten eating household here so all grains are fair game for us. My understanding is that oats are gluten free but are usually contaminated with gluten by crop rotation and/or processing equipment. In addition to that many people with Coeliacs disease or other issues with gluten are sensitive to avenin, a protein found in oats.
A sprinkling of nuts into the curmble mix works great, as a couple of the comments have made mention of. The combination of rhubarb and peaches sounds fantastic. As far as quick but delicious desserts go, a crumble sure is hard to beat! Thanks for the great post.
A sprinkle of nuts is rarely wrong. Certainly a great addition to a crumble! Almonds would be a great match for the peach and rhubarb.
