'secret' crumble recipes

[berrychakewellplease]

I made an excellent crumble a few years ago with oats and brown sugar.

I was wondering if anyone else has any 'secret' to the best ever crumble. i am hoping to make a batch of topping and freeze it - if anyone has done this successfully do you have any tips.

I've found my people

My favourite is apple crumble with oats and pecans added to the crumble mix.

Seconding adding in chopped mixed nuts in the crumble for crunch and richness. I can’t seem to get it right adding oats in so I leave them out. I also add a tiny bit of vanilla essence to the crumble if it’s a cakey or biscuity type of flavour that I want. With apples I add in cinnamon and a tiny bit of mixed spice into the crumble mix too.

Saving this for my next batch. Agree that ore baking it is the way diehard and oats scattered in top makes loads of sense instead of mixed in.

Might do a peach one.
