Expert tips
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.
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.
