Crumble is a traditional English dessert that appeared during World War II. At that time, when food was as precious as gold, housewives sought simple ways to prepare delicious dishes with minimal ingredients. Crumble became the perfect solution: a filling of fresh fruits was covered with a crumbly shortcrust pastry, 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 taste. 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 rise to “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 in half again. 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
