Easy Summer Fruits Crumble
Report
Delicious summer fruits and Bramley apples make a wonderful filling in this Easy Summer Fruits Crumble. You can use fresh summer fruits when they are in season and frozen summer fruits when they are not. Either way it takes just 15 minutes hands on time and delivers a fabulous pud every time!

Ingredients
- 500 g Bramley apples (AKA cooking apples) peeled, cores removed and chopped into small pieces (see Note 1)
- 500 g fresh or frozen summer fruits I used Tesco Frozen Summer Fruits Mix
- 1 tablespoon soft light brown sugar or to taste
- 200 g plain white flour (AKA all purpose flour)
- 100 g cold butter cut into 1cm (½inch) cubes (see Note 2)
- 100 g soft light brown sugar (see Note 3)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200C / 180C fan / gas mark 6 / 400F.
- Peel the apples, remove the cores and then chop into bite-sized pieces – roughly 1cm / ½inch square.
- Place the apple pieces and summer fruits in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in 1-2 tablespoons of light brown sugar (or however much sugar gives you a good balance of tart/sweet for your tastes).
- Meanwhile, place the flour and cubed butter in a large bowl and rub together until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs (or do this in a food processor if you prefer – see Note 4).
- Add the 100 g soft light brown sugar and stir. (There is no need to sieve the flour or sugar, as a bit of a rough texture is what is needed for a good crumble!)
- Tip the apple/summer fruits mix into the dish you are planning to cook the crumble in.
- Sprinkle over the crumble topping – this can be quite rough and ready, but make sure all the fruit is covered. If it looks a bit too neat on top, rough it up a bit. You want lots of peaks and troughs to give it that really good crumble texture.
- Put your crumble in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until it is golden on top, and the fruit is bubbling. Serve with custard, cream, ice cream or yogurt.
Notes
- Make sure you use Bramley apples / cooking apples. 'Eating' apples tend not to have enough flavour when cooked, resulting in a dull and lacklustre crumble.
- You can use margarine if you prefer, but personally I find the flavour and texture far better with butter.
- You can use white sugar if you prefer, but personally I find the flavour and texture far better with light soft brown sugar. For a more caramelized / smoky taste, you could use dark soft brown sugar or muscovado sugar.
- You can use a food processor to rub the butter and flour together, if you prefer. However, you will get a far better result if you do this by hand! (The food processor does the job a bit too perfectly!)
- Suitable for freezing.
