Mixed Fruit Crumble
The combination of sweet, tang, and tart flavors from strawberries, apples, and rhubarb creates the perfect crumble!
The crumble pictured is used with all GF ingredients!
Ingredients:
4 apples
One container of strawberries
1 cup rhubarb (if frozen, let it defrost)
1/4 cup and 1/2 cup sugar (separated)
1 tablespoon of vanilla
1 tablespoon of cornstarch (OPTIONAL— if you don’t want the fruit to be as juicy/liquidy, the cornstarch will absorb some of that up though. Don’t worry, it won’t be dry!)
Zest of ~ 1/2 a lime (yes…. this is the secret ingredient)
1 1/2 cups of rolled oats (GF or regular)
1/2 cup flour (GF or regular)
1/4 cup almond flour
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup sliced almonds (optional)
1 stick of cold butter, shredded
Procedure:
Preheat oven to 375 F
Prep the fruit
Peel apples and cut into 1 inch pieces
Cut strawberries in 1/2, unless they’re big then cut in 1/4ths
Cut rhubarb into 1 inch pieces
Place fruit into a long tart/pie tray (or really any tray that’s semi-deep and long)
Pour vanilla and 1/4 cup sugar (and cornstarch if using) into fruit mixture and mix with your hands
Sprinkle lime zest on top of mixture as even as possible
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, almond flour, salt, oats, and sliced almonds.
Add in the shredded cold butter. Using your finger tips, mix and crumble the ingredients together. You don’t want the butter to melt, so be gentle. Massage/crumble the mixture together until it looks like small breadcrumbs.
Once fully combined, spread the crumble mixture on top of the fruit. Make sure that it is spread even and there aren’t any lumps/hills.
Bake for ~25-35 minutes / until the top is golden brown
Serve with a scoop of your favorite ice cream! (vanilla for me, please!)
Store wrapped in the fridge for up to a week
REHEATING:
Do NOT reheat crumble in the microwave. It isn’t worth it, I promise. Throw it in a hot oven (350-400 F) for a few minutes / until warm. OR if you have an air fryer, put it in 400 F for 5 minutes— works like a charm.
