Showcase fruit in a piping hot, oat-topped crumble delicately flavoured with cinnamon and star anise
Ingredients:
- 140g plain flour
- 140g butter, cut into small dice
- 85g soft brown sugar
- 50g porridge oat
- custard, to serve
- 1kg ripe plum (about 14), halved and stoned
- 1 tbsp soft brown sugar
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 2 star anise
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- juice ½ lemon
- 300g blackberry
Instructions:
- First, make the crumble topping. Put the flour and butter in a food processor and pulse to the texture of wet sand. Tip into a bowl and add the sugar and oats. Sprinkle the mixture with 2 tbsp cold water, then use a fork to mix everything together, creating a crumbly texture with a few large clumps. Chill until needed.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip all the fruit ingredients, except the blackberries, into a large ovenproof dish. Add 50ml water, cover with foil and bake for 1 hr. Remove the foil and discard star anise. Add the blackberries to the dish, sprinkle over the crumble mixture and return to the oven for a further 25-30 mins until the top is golden. Serve hot with custard.
