Summer Fruit Honey And Hazelnut Crumble Recipe 335

Steps:

• Put the fruits in a pan or microwave dish with about 1 inch water in the bottom and cook gently for 10- 15 minutes (4- 6 minutes in microwave), or until the fruits are soft without being totally mushy.
• Sweeten to taste with honey or brown sugar (Saxons would have used honey); how much you need will depend on what fruits you have used.
• Drain the excess juice and save to serve with the pudding.
• Chop the hazelnuts in a processor or liquidiser until they are almost (but not quite) as fine as the breadcrumbs, and then mix the two together.
• Spoon the fruit into an ovenproof dish and cover with a thick layer of hazelnuts and crumbs.
• Bake in a moderate oven 350F for 20 - 30 minutes or until the top is slightly crunchy and browned.
• Serve with lots of cream or plain yogurt and the warmed fruit juices.

Steps:

• Pre heat your oven to 320 degrees fahrenheit or 160 degrees celsius.
• First, make the filling by placing all the ingredients in a large bowl and tossing gently with your fingers until the apple slices are evenly coated. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Now make the topping by mixing the flour and brown sugar in a bowl. Add in the butter and rub in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
• Next, add the hazelnuts to the topping mixture and, using your hands, toss until all the ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
• Very lightly grease the pie dish with butter. (I like to use a nice glass baking dish). Transfer the apple mixture evenly into the dish. Using your fingers, sprinkle the brown sugar topping evenly over the apples.
• Place the dish on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 45 minutes, until the top is lightly golden. When ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for about an hour.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Make the topping: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, sugars, salt and spices. Stir in butter. Using your hands, squish mixture until coarse crumbs form. Some should be about 1/2-inch in size, some smaller.
• Spread topping in one layer onto a rimmed baking sheet. (You don't have to grease it first.) Bake until crumbs are solid when you gently poke them, and are fragrant, about 15 minutes. They won't change appearance very much. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack to cool while you make the filling. (Crumbs can be baked up to 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.)
• Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and cornstarch until well combined. Add fruit and gently toss to coat with the sugar mixture. Pour filling into an ungreased 2-quart gratin dish or 10-inch cake pan, mounding the fruit in the center.
• Spoon crumbs over filling and place the crumble dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any overflowing juices. (You can use the same baking sheet you cooked the crumbs on.) Bake until filling bubbles energetically around the edges, about 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream, if you like. Crumble can be made up to 8 hours ahead and kept at room temperature, or warmed up briefly in a 350-degree oven.
