Equipment

  • 9 x 13 baking pan

Ingredients
 
 

For the fruit filling:

  • 4 1/2 pounds of fresh fruit cleaned, cored, and sliced
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp corn starch
  • Flavors to match fruit: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon lemon or orange zest, maple syrup, or vanilla extract

Topping ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 9 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Grease a 9 x 13 or large oval baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine the fruit, sugar, corn starch, and flavor agent.
  • Pour the fruit into the prepared baking pan.

For the crumb topping:

  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar.
  • Cut the cold butter into half-inch cubes.
  • Use your finger tips to mash the butter into the dry ingredients until clumps begin to form and no more butter streaks are visible.

Bake and serve:

  • Pour the oat crumb mixture over the top of the fruit. Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until juices are bubbling and streusel topping is golden, 45 minutes to 1 hour. If your crumble begins to get too brown before your fruit is bubbly, cover with aluminum foil to keep it from burning while your cook finishes cooking.
  • Let cool on a wire rack until just warm. Serve warm or at room temperature topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Cooled crumble will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days.
