I've never made a veggie crumble. Yesterday i made a cherry crumble and a mango and raspberry one,using frozen fruit. I buy the packets of crumble mix and they live in the freezer.

I often do a veggie crumble, although you could add meat if you wanted to. People often don't think about making savoury ones. You can vary it to suit your taste - either a cheese sauce or a casserole-type one, with 'fridge bottom' ingredients, and maybe a few lentils. Obviously don't add sugar to the mix, and I usually add grated cheese.

I love a savoury crumble Doodledog. I sometimes add sunflower seeds and nuts into the crumble.. and always cheese..

50g brown sugar
50g butter
100g plain flour

Fruit of choice fresh but cooked to soften tinned from a jar or frozen about 400g.

Rub crumble ingredients together I leave mine lumpy I also bake it separate from fruit I want to top. Cooked until golden top fruit in baking tin put back in the oven for about five mins.

180c fan 160c about 35/45 mins depends on colour you want
sprinkle sugar on top.

M&S crumble topping (in a pink box). Tip contents into a bowl and add 4 oz of melted butter, don't overmix. Spoon onto fruit, rhubarb from the garden at the moment, yum.!

I always add hazelnuts crushed, and often cinnamon. With tons of lemon skin and juice to the apples (if using).

I do as you do Callistemon extra for the freezer.

I might do your savory topping Doodledog next week smile

The recipes here sound just like the proportions I use for my crumbles. I sometimes add a few nuts when I mix the crumble in the food processor.

I use Delia's recipe every time. Always have a bag full of it in the freezer. Tins of Apple slices in the larder and "Bob's your Uncle" as my old mum would say - add a bit of lemon juice and Brown sugar to the apples.

Brilliant - thanks for all your help.

4 oz flour
2oz sugar (caster or light brown)
2oz butter.

Rub butter into flour and stir in the sugar.

I seldom add anything. I don't like the texture of oats.

Yes, about these proportions.

If you have a food processor make 3 or 4 times the quantity and freeze what you don't use. Even easier than going to buy a packet each time 😃

1 quantity flour
0.5 quantity butter
0.4 quantity sugar

Melt the butter in a saucepan, let it cool a little, stir in the flour and sugar. Because rubbing in is equivalent to stuffing a mushroom.

Me too

Yes, it's a basic pastry recipe without the liquid. Half fat to flour. Same amount of sugar as fat.

Try using breakfast granola on the top.

Freya5 Mon 04-Mar-24 19:23:54

You don't have to put oats in. Basic crumble, for me, 150 grms plain flour, 75 grams butter, same amount sugar, rub butter and flour together, dont overwork it, stir in sugar, spread over fruit, bake 160 fan for about 40 mins. Longer if you want a browner top, sprinkle of demerara sugar on top is lovely.
My favourite pud.
Hope this helps.

Jazzhands Mon 04-Mar-24 19:15:33

I've been hunting for the old recipe, not the ones with oats on top - can anyone help please?
