Crumble fillings - not apple

[pontipinemum]

I'm just wondering what are some of your fav crumble fillings? Mine is apple, but peeling, coring, chopping is a PITA.

Any tinned/ frozen fruit work well? I thought of frozen mix berry or tinned pear would they work?

I'm 13 weeks pregnant and loving crumble and custard!

Tinned pear, peaches or apricots.

Tinned apricots work brilliantly.
I also like plum - you do need to remove the stones though.

Rhubarb is easy just chop it up and sprinkle with sugar before topping with crumble

Rhubarb - it's in season now - bootiful!

Plum is the best, but frozen cherries works well and is very easy.

Tinned black cherries are amazing in a crumble 😋

I don’t peel apples for crumble, just de-core and slice. Add blackberries and it’s delicious 😋
Try pear and tinned peaches, or canned apricots.

My MIL did rhubarb with stem ginger last time and it was absolutely incredible - I’m excitedly waiting for our rhubarb to be ready to pick and I’ll be making one!

Rhubarb, plums, blackberries, tinned peaches (go well with blackberries), raspberries, gooseberries.... pretty much any fruit really!

Another fan of rhubarb here!

Oh thanks everyone!

I just checked I have a tin of pears, pineapple and fruit mix so I think I'll try pear today not sure the others would work! I WFH so may even make it at lunch

I love peaches so think I'll get some of those. Cherry sounds good too

My great gran used to make rhubarb crumble I loved it. I'll see if the ILs are growing any this year

Frozen berries can work well, i use them often you just have to be careful as they can be a bit too wet.

If apple is your favourite but you can’t be arsed to peel, core and chop, I’m fairly certain I’ve seen prepared bramley apples in Waitrose.

Otherwise I like plums and Nigel slater does a good chocolate pear one, and although he uses fresh pears, I’m sure it would work with tinned.

@SirenSays I saw on Lisa and Johns weekend kitchen she stirred a spoon of flour into the berry mix for that reason.

Made a plum and apple one on Sunday, (plums out the freezer). Added a bit of cinnamon and allspice. Very nice, but also like rhubarb, peach - have our own peach tree - and apple and blackberry.

Forgot pear which is lovely and also add some mincemeat sometimes to apple etc!

Yes was going to say the same thing used to make it all the time when I was younger

Canned apricots. Also delicious baked with a sponge topping, like Eve's pudding.

Tinned apples work well.

Frozen raspberries

great for peeling apples. It’s a doddle to use.

Yes I vote for rhubarb! And blackberries and greengages. Delicious. I don't peel apples for crumble either. Roasted nuts and oats are nice added to the crumble topping too.

I have recently become a big fan of bags of frozen fruits, eg summer berries, blueberries, etc. I've been making smoothies but am sure they'd do good puds too 🙂

frozen autumn fruits and throw in some extra black cherries or raspberries. My go to every time as it's yummy

I like to put a layer of sliced banana on top of fruit, under crumble. It kind of caramelises and melts into the fruit.

Frozen Mango and add a bit of dessicated coconut into the crumble.
