Notes

Variations:
  • Use different berries such as raspberries or gooseberries, depending on what's in season.
  • Use frozen blueberries instead of fresh blueberries, which means you can enjoy this dessert all year round!
  • Add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecan nuts to the crumble for added texture and a nutty crunch.
  • Bake the crumble in small individual ramekins instead of one large pie dish. You'll need 6-8 ramekins for this recipe.
 
Storage: 
Make Ahead - For stress-free entertaining, fully assemble the apple and blueberry crumble up to two days in advance. Simply layer the fruit filling in the baking dish, top with the oat mixture, then cover and refrigerate.
Store - The baked crumble can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or eat at room temperature.
Freeze - The crumble can be frozen for up to 3 months. There is no need to defrost the crumble before baking it. Place it in the oven straight from the freezer and add a few minutes to the cooking time.
