  We made this recipe yesterday and found the filling delicious but the quantities for the crumble topping way off. Far too much butter and adding the 2tbsp of water turned it more into a pastry than a crumble topping. We tried it again with less butter and only a few drops of water and it was better but not perfect. We used the first batch of failed topping to make some biscuits today.

  Due to the adverse comments above about the topping, I used the topping from the Maple Plum Crumble on this site and doubled it to go on the filling for this recipe. End result was excellent. Highly recommended and a taste of Autumn.

  I agree with the comments about the topping - mine was just a sticky mess! Added extra oats and flour and just about rescued it. Filling was lovely though i'm not convinced you need the flour, and you definitely don't need to pre cook the plums for an hour - 40 minutes is more than enough unless you want mush.

  Yummy! Crumble topping fine as per recipe too despite comments above. Add water a tiny bit at a time to prevent turning to pastry.

  Fruit was a lovely flavour - used ground mixed spice and only plums as didn't have any blackberries. Crumble was excellent, perfectly made by my 7 yr old daughter. Perfect texture, flavour and quantity. Serves hot with ice cream. Easily serves 8.
