Blueberry-Nectarine Crumble
A crumble is an easy dessert which you can make with a lot of different fruit combinations. It's simple and delicious. For the topping, it's ideal to use oats and nuts, for texture. In this recipe I used walnuts, but try different nuts (Pecans, Brazilian nuts, hazelnuts, or even almonds) and different fruits (blueberry, apple, mango, raspberry, peach,...).
Serves 4
Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Difficulty: *
Ingredients:
Topping
- 1/4 cup walnuts pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned (rolled) oats
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.
Mix all the topping ingredients in a large bowl and rub together with you finger tips until mixture makes small clumps.
Pour the berries into a baking dish (mine was 7x5 inches / 18x12 cm), spinkle the lemon juice over the berries then the sugar and flour. Toss until the berries are well coated.
Scatter the topping on top of the berries in an even layer.
Bake in your oven for about 45 to 50 minutes.
Enjoy warm as dessert or for a brunch.
