Equipment

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 600 g Plums stoned and chopped
  • 200 g Stewed Apples or use 2 Bramley apples (sliced), ½ teaspoon cinnamon and increase sugar to 3 tbsp
  • 2 tablespoon Demerara Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Cornflour

For the crumble topping

  • 200 g Plain Flour
  • 100 g Butter
  • 100 g Demerara Sugar
  • 25 g Ground Almonds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (180 °fan/ 400°F/ Gas 6).
  • Place the chopped plums in a pie dish (about 30cm diameter) and stir in the stewed apple, demerara sugar and cornflour. If you are using fresh Bramley apples instead of the stewed apple, also add ½ teaspoon cinnamon and increase the sugar quantity from 2 tablespoon to 3 tbsp.
    600 g Plums, 200 g Stewed Apples, 2 tablespoon Demerara Sugar, 1 tablespoon Cornflour
  • Make the crumble topping by placing all of the ingredients in the food processor and pulsing until you get course breadcrumbs. Alternatively, rub the butter into the flour by hand and stir though the demerara sugar and ground almonds.
    200 g Plain Flour, 100 g Butter, 100 g Demerara Sugar, 25 g Ground Almonds
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit mixture and bake in the oven for 50 minutes. If you find the crumble topping is becoming too brown, cover with foil for the final part of cooking.

Notes

  • Use cold butter and mix lightly for a light, crisp crumble topping.
  • Adjust sugar depending on how tart your fruit is for balanced flavour.
  • Serve warm with custard, cream, or ice cream.
