[Sachs]

[mumof3angels]

[abbie1977]

Apple and pear and use chopped almonds and walnuts in your crumble mix...delicious! xx

[mccfluff]

yep got plenty to go round, mind you the cat has to have her share of the custard or she'll sulk......

[mumof3angels]

so your cat's the one that got the custard, not the cream

[mccfluff]

[abbie10]

either apple with cinnamon or rhubarb (no cinnamon) - Mmmmmmm

[pastafreak]

Apple and pear for me-no nuts but yes to some cinnamon in the crumble mix.
When in season-Victoiria plumbs..also with pear or on their own...yummm.

Rhubarb or gooseberry, with creme fraiche - lovely

[Jugglering]

I love just about any sort of fruit crumble... apple and blackcurrant is probably my favourite, followed by plum and then rhubarb... I often add some oats to the basic crumble mix and sometimes chopped mixed nuts :)

Here's a very interesting recipe from Waitrose which includes some crushed Corsini Amaretti Morbidi biscuits in the crumble topping - very very nice !!!
