can I have your really yummy crumble topping recipes please??

[Bicnod]

I'm making an apple and blackberry crumble and am bored of my usual crumble topping.

Any ideas?

TIA

6oz flour
3oz butter
1oz demerara sugar
2oz rolled oats

Rub butter into flour, stir in sugar and oats.

It's lovely Just hope I've remembered the proportions correctly (recipe is at home, I am at work).

Thanks cyteen - will get some demerara sugar and oats

I put
self raising flour
dark brown soft sugar
dessicated coconut
mix together then add melted butter

I can find the proprotions if you are interested

Ooooh, quite like the sound of dessicated coconut - do you think it would be ok with blackberry and apple?

Yes please to proportions, thanks CD

(I make a lot of crumbles in the autumn/winter so lots of different topping ideas is good)

I add meusli or oats to the original crumble mix.

1cup flour
1cup porridge oats
1cup chopped almonds or hazelnuts
1cup soft brown sugar
1cup butter
spices: cinnamon, cardamon, black pepper to taste

Mmmm, mousymouse that sounds lovely :)

I replace some of the flour with ground almonds

Making a plum one this weekend, but would also do with black and apple

I like it if you flick a little water on it and rough it up with a fork before you cook it makes it go bobblier and crunchier

Make a charlotte instead?

Fresh (or frozen) breadcrumbs with a tablespoon of demarara sugar stirred in with little knobs of butter all over the top

I cup butter
I cup soft brown sugar
I cup oats
I cup ground almonds
I tps vanilla essence
cinnamon

blend it in blender so oats are crumb texture, then crumble on or freeze. had it tonight with blackberries one of my sons at had picked. It's a fantastic recipe. But now I want to try the ones with cardamom and coconut.

I like a plum crumble with oats/demerara and half a tsp ground ginger in the topping.

Mmmmmmmmm....

oats
flour
brown sugar
butter
a little bit of oil

I'm going to have to make a serious amount of crumble to try out all these toppings - thanks ladies (DH is particularly excited)
