Introduction

It’s easy to assemble and endlessly customizable—making it a winner for both weeknight indulgence and crowd-pleasing gatherings.

Why This Fruit Crumble is an Unbeatable Dessert Choice

Fruit crumble is beloved for its simplicity and versatility. It allows you to use whatever seasonal fruits you have on hand, and the topping’s buttery crunch is the ideal companion to juicy fruit. The addition of ice cream not only enhances the flavor but also adds a luxurious touch. Whether you’re baking for family, friends, or a special event, this dessert is guaranteed to disappear fast.

Choosing and Prepping Your Fruit

Select a mixture of ripe stone fruits (like peaches and plums), apples, or berries for an exciting blend of flavors and colors. To quickly and safely chop your fruit into even pieces, a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper works wonders, speeding up prep time and creating uniformity for even baking. Toss your chopped fruit with a little sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice to bring out the natural juiciness.

Making the Perfect Crumble Topping

The crumble topping is a simple mixture of flour, oats, brown sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt. For the best results, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs. Freshly made topping ensures a golden, crunchy result every time.

Baking and Serving Your Crumble

When you’re ready to bake, line your chosen baking dish with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking. Bake until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is deeply golden.

For serving, let your crumble rest for a few minutes out of the oven—this allows the fruit juices to thicken slightly under the crust. Scoop generous helpings into bowls, and add a large, creamy scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream right on top. For extra flair, use a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender to whip up a quick fruit sauce using berries and a hint of sugar to drizzle over the top.

Tips for Making and Storing Fruit Crumble

Leftovers (if you have any!) keep well in refrigerated Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers. Just reheat gently before serving, and always add ice cream fresh for that dreamy temperature contrast. If you want to prep ahead, assemble your crumble up to a day in advance and bake just before serving.
