PrintCrumble
I had some leftover berries and a handful of oats (...yeah, I tend to just cook with whatever's left in the pantry before I go to the store and buy new ingredients -- hate to waste food!), so I decided to make a mixed berry crumble.
The blackberries were good, but let me just say that strawberries do not a good crumble make. They just turned into a soggy, tasteless red sludge. It was somewhat redeemed by my super-top-secret crumble ingredients: cassia AND real cinnamon, for a nice dual-cinnamon effect. Not so top-secret, I guess. But, condensed version: strawberries /= good crumble.
What is your favorite fruit to put into a crumble? Pear? Rhubarb? Apple? Have any special crumble secrets?

My apple pie is basically an apple crumble in a pastry shell. It's so good, you could almost do away with the apples.
I recently made a crumble with nectarines and I think that's my new favorite crumble fruit. The fruit held up really well - firm and tangy.
My crumble secret is to sprinkle a tablespoon or so of fresh lemon zest and some fancy vanilla sugar crystals over the top as soon as it comes out of the oven. Makes a nice crust. I also substitute 0% Greek yogurt for half the butter if I'm trying to be healthy.

I like apple, with a handful of golden raisins thrown in.

I have a great recipe for cranberry crumble, it is so good because there are pecans in the crumble part. And of course I eat any crumble with vanilla ice cream.

Peaches! I love crumble, especially hot with yogurt topping for breakfast.My daughter, on the other hand, wants hers with custard. Blueberries make a good crumble too

Rhubarb is a favorite but the best has to be sour cherries.
