What other fruits can you use for a crumble?

[BigRedBall]

I made an apple crumble last night. First time since I was 13 years old! It was flipping lovely. My children loved it. Just had some for breakfast too .

Now I have the crumble bug. Can I mix fruits? Which combinations are the best? What's the best fruit to use? Ripe or unripe?

Ok, so I say this on a lot of threads but I LOVE Hartleys Red Cherry filling in a crumble (I add some cinnamon to the crumble mix, or chocolate chips). It's actually heavenly, I want some now!

Plum
Black cherry (tinned ones in syrup)
Apple
Blackberry
Pear
Apricot
Peach

How did I forget the king of crumbles - rhubarb?!

Gooseberry made with tinned gooseberries in juice if you can't get fresh ones. Absolutely delicious but most fruits work well :)

I didn't know you could get tinned gooseberries, I'll look out for them.

God these all sound lovely! We have a fresh pineapple in the fruit bowl so I'll try that one next.

I normally make a nice banana toffee pudding for a "quick" pud, but I'll add crumble to my list of easy things for treats now!

BTW if you freeze the crumble mix for 10 minutes before you top the fruit it will be more crunchy. Similarly make a massive batch of the crumble topping and keep it in the freezer to use as and when needed.

Bananas do work in crumble!

I made a pineapple, mango and banana crumble with dark chocolate broken up into small pieces. The actual crumble had dessicated coconut in. I didn't add any sugar like I would with apples etc. It was lovely served with cream.

That sounds lovely, Crazy, a splash of rum would set it off nicely!

The chef at a pub that I work at made rhubarb and honey yesterday - was lovely!

Apple and Raspberry is lovely but I adore Plum crumble.

I think mango on its own might be to squidgy, but mixed with something else like apple it should work fine.

Bother.

Too, not to.

Gooseberry. End of.

Rhubarb and honey sounds nice.

Rum would be a nice addition Squoosh, though would the alcohol be cooked off ?

Oooh no!

Pineapple has to be Upsidedown pudding, not crumble!

Plums - especially cheap ones that don't taste that good raw. Cook them first with a bit of cinnamon and sugar and they are gorgeous - tart and sweet and juicy. Mmm.

Banana in crumble is delicious! I made Rhubarb and banana crumble yesterday and of course its even better with a dollop of custard on top!

Banana's most definitely work.

My favourite crumbles are
Rhubarb
Strawberry
Pear and banana

Pineapple, banana and mango? I'm making it! With vanilla icecream I think, yummy!

Rhubarb & banana sounds fabulous!

I just realised this is in AIBU... It was supposed to be in chat. Sorry to any thread police people :)

Rhubarb and orange, the orange being the juice and zest added to the rhubarb. Pear and blackberry, apple and blackberry, and gooseberry. Use Agave nectar to sweeten the fruit, as it has a low glycaemic index. I use golden caster sugar in the crumble bit.

Apple with juice of an orange and a smidgeon of ginger my MIL made, delicious.

I cheat sometimes and use packet crumble mix but crumbling Weetabix on top just before serving can give it a crunchier topping.
