Crumble is a traditional English dessert that appeared during World War II. At a time when food was as precious as gold, housewives sought simple ways to prepare delicious dishes with a minimum of ingredients. Crumble became the perfect solution: a filling of fresh fruit was covered with a sandy crumb dough, creating a crispy crust. Despite its modesty, crumble quickly became popular and remains a favorite dessert to this day.
This dessert can be made with any seasonal fruits – apples, peaches, berries, or even rhubarb. We chose juicy plums, which give the crumble a special sweet-and-sour flavor. We will explain and show all the stages of preparation below.
Time required: up to 1 hour Difficulty: 2 out of 5 Cost of ingredients: average (may become “above average” if made with out-of-season fruits)
We will need:
- 900 g of plums (weight without pits)
- 100 g of brown sugar for sprinkling the plums (can be replaced with regular white sugar)
- 300 g of flour (we used 150 g of premium flour and 150 g of whole grain flour)
- 200 g of butter
- 150 g of sugar (we used 75 g of regular white sugar and 75 g of brown sugar)
- 6-8 tablespoons of cold water.
Preparation
We wash the plums, cut them in half, remove the pits, and then cut the halves again in half. As a result, we will have very nice plum quarters.
We immediately start forming the crumble. We will bake it in a tart pan. We grease it with butter and evenly distribute the plums in it.
Sprinkle the plums with sugar
