    Pumpkin might be the everybody's favourite in Fall, but there are so other many delicious seasonal vegetables and fruit, it would be a shame not to put them to good use. Take apples and plums, 2 underrated fruit, they are not only so yummy, but healthy too. So, why not use them for a fantastic crumble that will have everybody back for seconds?

    Crumble is such a versatile dessert; it can be made with pretty much any fruit, and it uses simple ingredients that won't break your bank. It might be cheap to make it, but it surely tastes as delicious as a posh dessert in an expensive restaurant. And the prep is minimal, it's ready to go in the oven in less than 10 minutes.

    Once you dump everything in, sit back and wait for one amazing crumble. It takes a bit to bake, 45 minutes to one hour, but you don't really need to keep checking it, so you can get on with whatever you need to do. Do check the oven after 45 minutes to see how long (if at all) it still needs to be left in.

    How to make apple and plum crumble

    Make sure the plums are well ripe and juicy, and the apples are of the sweet variety, in this way we don't need to add too much refined sugar. Plus, the natural sweetness of the fruit brings so much flavour to this crumble.

    • pit the plums, peel and core the apples, and chop everything in big chunks
    • add the sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice and mix well, then set aside
    • in a large bowl, add the flour and the butter, and rub them together until they resemble breadcrumbs

    Note! Make sure the butter is cold, otherwise you can't get the crumb texture. Do not remove it from the fridge earlier!

    • add the oats, sugar and lemon zest, and mix them all together
    • butter an oven-proof dish, spread the fruit all over, then top with the oat and flour mixture
    • bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden

    What to serve with fruit crumble?

    As delicious as this crumble is on its own, take it to the very next level by serving it with a nice scoop of ice cream (any kind of flavour you like), a good dollop of cream, or pour over some homemade custard. Whatever you go for, you won't regret your choice.

    You can make the crumble with apples or plums only, just double up the amount of fruit and you can follow the exact same steps, no need to do anything differently. Although I find this combo a very yummy one.
