Best Crumble Ever

If you like quick, easy and not overpoweringly sweet desserts, you will have to read this post! I love desserts, but most of the time I'm just way too lazy to make them, especially if we just cooked and cleaned the kitchen.. Fortunately, I found a way around this! Crumble!  One bowl - Four Ramekins - That's it!


It's so simple and quick that even Jamie makes it sometimes! You just pour all your ingredients together in a medium sized bowl and mix them with your hands until they form nice little crumbles. It will look like the mixture is too dry at first, but just continue rubbing and kneading; in less than five minutes you will be ready to crumble them over all your favorite fruits!


It doesn't matter if you use fresh, frozen, or canned fruit (drained); almost everything is possible. You can also substitute the oats with nuts, for example, or add various other ingredients like spices or brown sugar.

Here are some of our favorite combinations:
  • Apple / Brown Sugar / Cinnamon
  • Banana / Walnut
  • Apple / Raisin / Marzipan
  • Apricot / Almond
  • Peach / Hazelnut 

One recipe should be enough for four medium ramekins - mine are about the size of one cup. Just fill the bottom half with fruits and the top half with the crumble and they are ready for the oven. Oh, and don't worry if you don't have ramekins; any other kind of non-stick baking dish will be fine! Just make sure most of your fruit is covered.
