Method
-
step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix together the fruit and granulated sugar (you will need less sugar for canned fruit) so it’s evenly coated. Tip into a pie dish where it fits snugly.
-
step 2
Rub the butter into the flour to make a light breadcrumb texture. Do not overwork it or the crumble will become heavy. Add in the demerara sugar until combined and spread over the fruit until completely covered.
-
step 3
Bake for 35-50 mins until golden brown and bubbling, and the fruit is tender. Leave to cool for 5 mins before serving.
Test Kitchen tips for making a quick crumble mix:
- Add a small handful of rolled oats to the topping after rubbing in the butter for a chewier, more textured crumble.
- For a flavour twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or ground ginger to the fruit or topping. Cinnamon works well with apples; ginger is especially good with sharper fruit such as blackberries or rhubarb.
- Adjust the fruit sugar content to taste. If you use sweeter fruit, start with less than the recipe’s 75g; if you want more texture, combine soft fruit such as blackberries with chopped pear or apple.
