Crumble is typically made with winter fruits such as apple or rhubarb but this is a delicious summery pudding which is wonderful after a lazy Sunday lunch. Serves 4.
Ingredients
350 g Summer fruits; for example strawberries, raspberries, blueberries.
100 g finely diced butter
100 g plain flour
100 g porridge oats
2 tablespoons Demerara sugar
1 tablespoon ground almonds
Natural yoghurt to serve
Method
Clean, hull and chop the strawberries. Mix with the other fruit and make a thick layer in the bottom of an oval oven proof dish. For the crumble: rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir into this the sugar, oats and ground almonds. Scatter the mixture over the fruit and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. Serve while still warm with natural yoghurt (or cream, custard or ice cream). You can make double the amount of crumble mix and refrigerate the remainder for a week or it also freezes well.
What a great, easy recipe – I actually love to use oats in my crumble topping too! Although I’m really excited to try your recipe with strawberries which I’ve never done before! We don’t have ground almonds available here in the U.S.A. – guess I’ll grind some & ask my mother-in-law to bring a package over next time…. Thank you, Lady Carnarvon your cooking video’s are fun and your very natural on camera too.
You are kind – you could probably crunch up some almonds with a pestle and mortar… but otherwise mother-in-laws sounds an excellent choice!
The crumble sounds delicious……will give it a try! Enjoyed hearing your lovely accent. This is “Thanksgiving “ week here in the states. A good time to serve the crumble….probably with apples.
Crumbles are delicious and good with apples and blueberries or pears, or this summery version. The biggest tip is how useful it is to have some crumble topping on stand by in the fridge..
I love this crumble recipe! The ingredients are healthy and nourishing, and it’s easy to prepare. I always use oats in my crumble topping. I’ve never used strawberries and ground almonds in a crumble before, but I look forward to tasting this flavor combination. Ground almonds are available at my local Whole Foods. I also enjoyed hearing about your mother’s cooking. I am a mother of twin boys, and they eat often!!! I know they’ll love it. Your cooking video is great! Thank you!
je vais essayer la recette dimanche pour mes petits enfants merci
I noticed that Lady Carnarvon mentioned making crumble with pears. Does anyone here have a recipe for that? I am planning a brunch for a few friends and would love to serve the berry crumble as well as the pear crumble. Thanks, Karen
I’m making this today but not sure what temperature I should set the oven to.
It is 180 degrees C, 350 F or gas mark 4. Hope this helps – having an Aga is quite different I know!
What a lovely idea to share your recipes with us! Thank you!
Absolutely divine, they’re all such delicious recipes, I’m so glad I found this blog. Thank you for sharing!
Looks so delicious, plan to make this soon. Enjoy your blog very much!
Really loved this video! Hubby was just handed double “heavy” cream on his….”Babe, while your out can you grab me list- he,he,he! I’m going to venture out with bananas, currents and pecan bits and then incorpate your topping and other ingredients. Wish me luck! You’ve started a revolution for sure! Maybe you could share a family favorite using butternut squash. My family traditional receipe is really tired and could use a completely different take. I’m sure I’m not alone in hoping for a lovely British take on this favorite. All the best to you and hubby. LOVED Pimms receipe! ☺️

I especially wanted this recipe. In Downton Abbey, Mrs. Hughes taught Carson to bake an ‘apple crumble’ for dessert.
I made an apple and pear crumble last Sunday – I made plenty of crumble mixture to leave some in the fridge too.
