How to Make English Fruit Crumble

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare fruit: Wash, peel, core, and chop fruit as needed according to the type of fruit used.
  3. In a 1-quart oven-proof dish, layer the prepared fruit, sprinkling ¾ cup of granulated sugar between layers.
  4. In a large bowl, sift together the 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour.
  5. Cut in the ½ cup of cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in ⅓ cup of caster sugar.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
  8. Press down lightly on the crumble topping with the palm of your hand, then smooth the top with a knife.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
  10. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  11. Continue baking for another 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving with your choice of fresh double cream, crème fraîche, or vanilla custard.
