Could we have a crumble thread please?

I tried to buy blackberries today to put them in a crumble with some apples, but they are non existent in Tescos atm. I'm going to use defrosted cherries instead but although I bake lots I'm not really experienced in crumbles & am not sure what fruit is good or not. There's a damson tree nearby, would they be good in the autumn?

Inspire me, what's your favourite crumble?

Apple with with stem ginger is lovely, so is plum crumble.

Has anyone tried Crump instead of Crumble?
For a family sized Crump I put:-

8 heaped tablespoons of plain flour,
200g of butter,
200g granulated sugar.
Cooked apples (with blackberries if preferred)

Put flour in bowl, make a hole in the flour add chopped butter and sugar and pop in a hot oven until the butter has melted. Take it out mix it up well and then spread over the top of cooked apples. (I prefer to use unsweetened cooking apples) put in 180c oven until golden and crisp.

My family prefer it to Crumble.

Nigel Slater's strawberry and almond crumble is gorgeous and a brilliant way to use up fruit that is going a bit squashy
