Plum-and-berry crumble

By Hannah Lewry

Serves 16

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cooking Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

10 - 12 plums, quartered
25 g butter
75 g caster sugar
1⁄2 lemon, juiced
500 g assorted frozen berries
Vanilla ice-cream, for serving

For the topping:

225 g flour
Salt, a pinch
300 g oats
360 g butter, cubed
225 g sugar
25 g ground almonds

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Place the plums on a baking tray, dot with the butter and sprinkle over the caster sugar and lemon juice. Roast for 10 minutes, or until they are soft but not collapsing, and the juices are beginning to caramelise. Add the berries to the tray.

2. To make the crumble topping, sift the flour and salt, then stir in the oats. Rub the butter into the mixture using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

3. Stir in the sugar and ground almonds, then spoon over the plums and berries. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the top is golden and the plums are bubbling underneath. Serve with ice cream.

Cook's note: This is no ordinary crumble – the topping is more of a biscuity strudel and the plums and berries are a tribute to the bounty of summer. Arrive with this tangy dessert starring seasonal plums and berries and a moreish, crispy, golden topping, and you’ll definitely score a second invitation. Pop it into your host’s oven to warm up just before serving on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
