Addie staff in the kitchen: Delicious fruit crumble
A quick and easy recipe to make the perfect fruit crumble. Warning: You may help yourself to seconds or thirds.
STEP 10: Dish up and serve lukewarm or even cold.
For this week’s recipe of the week, we baked a mouth-watering fruit crumble as the perfect dessert.
FRUIT CRUMBLE:
STEP 1: Gather all your ingredients.
Ingredients:
• 500 ml (2 cups) self-raising flour
• 200 ml sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 200 g (215 ml) butter/margarine
• A bit of desiccated coconut and/or chopped nuts
• 1 tin (825 g) canned fruit (any kind) or stewed fruit
Method:
STEP 2: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Sieve the self-raising flower, sugar and salt together.
STEP 3: Crumble the room temperature butter/margarine into the ingredients. Note: Do not microwave the butter if it is refrigerated or hard. If it is hard, do what I did and grate the butter in. Just like cheese. Works wonders. You need to use your hands and it may get a little messy.
When finished, it should look similar to this. Make sure the crumbs are small and that there are no big pieces you missed.
STEP 4: Add desiccated coconut and/or nuts and mix through. (I did not add nuts, not a fan of them.)
STEP 5: Use an oven-safe dish with a volume of about 2 litres and give a coating of non-stick spray or butter.
STEP 6: Add canned or stewed fruit to bowl.
STEP 7: Carefully add your crumble on top.
STEP 8: Evenly spread the crumble so that it covers all the fruit.
STEP 9: Bake for at lea\st 30 minutes until crust is a nice golden brown colour. Let cool off.
STEP 10: Dish up and serve lukewarm or even cold. Enjoy!
