Red Fruit Crumble

Deliciously fruity, and so easy: the Red fruit crumble ! Quick to prepare, all year round (with frozen fruit), we love its very delicious crunchy-melting texture. An ideal family dessert when you're in a hurry!

What you will like with this red fruit crumble

• flavors : the deliciousness and acidity of red fruits, softened by the sweetness of the slightly vanilla crumble dough...
• texture : crispy thanks to the crumble dough and tender thanks to the cooked fruit!
• difficulty level : really very easy and quick! Choose a ceramic dish, ideal for crumbles (this allows the fruit underneath to cook well). Mine is a ceramic mold 26cm in diameter.

Ingredient details

• Red fruits : I use a mixture of frozen red fruits for this red fruit crumble recipe (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, redcurrants). So you can make it all year round and not just in the summer, when they are harvested. However, if you want to use fresh red fruits because it is summer, don't hold back! The recipe is the same.
• cornstarch : it helps absorb the liquid released by the fruit by thickening it, giving a coulis that is very pleasant in the mouth.
• oatmeal : this is my favorite for crumbles because it brings crunch and texture. I choose small oat flakes (organic section of the supermarket), because it is less coarse in texture than whole flakes.
• cinnamon powder : it's subtle, we put very little, but it brings out the taste of the crumble dough. Personally, I love it!

My tips for a perfect crumble

• choose the right mold : a ceramic/stoneware mold (thus thick) is perfect for crumbles! Avoid metal molds.
• let a space without crumble dough at the edge of the mold : this allows you to monitor that the fruit underneath is well cooked at the end of cooking.
• we know that the red fruit crumble is ready when it is lightly golden, and the fruit is "bubbling" (bubbling) on ​​the edges of the mold.

How to enjoy the crumble?

The red fruit crumble is delicious still lukewarm, a few minutes after removing from the oven. Can also enjoy it cooled, it all depends on your preferences.

The crumble can be enjoyed alone or accompanied by a nice vanilla ice cream scoop for an extra-gourmet side!

Once cooked, the red fruit crumble can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, covered with cling film or in an airtight container. You can eat it cold, or warm it slightly before tasting it.

Red fruit crumble can also be frozen ! Be sure to wrap it well in cling film and aluminum foil to protect it from moisture (or put it in an airtight container). To defrost it, simply place it in the refrigerator overnight, and put it in a warm oven to warm it slightly.
