Hey Sweet Ones,
Thank you for your patience with this recipe. I'm sure just like most of you, I've been juggling a bit more than usual.
We've officially kicked off summer and besides the blazing heat wave we had last week it's going quite well. We've been enjoying so much summer fruit to keep us cool, gelato and ice cream to accompany. And living in our pool becoming fish I'm almost certain..
This crumble recipe can be made a few different ways. I added some oat flour to the topping which gave it a bite. And you can swap out any "leftover" fruits you may have, or ones that are about to turn. If you aren't going to make it right away you could add a tsp of sugar the night before when you cut them up to soak them.
Here I used leftover strawberries + very ripe apricots. I was inspired by the fab Rebekah Peppler recipe which calls for dry rosé, and used leftover pinot grigio. You could also use bubbles. You get the idea.
Thanks for stopping by, more soon friends.
Happy Baking.

- Add your filling to the baking dish. With your hands clump the topping over the fruit in a scattering manner, repeat until the filling is covered with crumbs. Bake for 35 -50 min.
