does it matter what fruit you use to make a crumble?

[lucysmam]

it's just oh wants to try raspberry but i wasn't sure if i'd do it the same as say apple

I expect the raspberries will go to a mush. I would mix them with something more solid like apple.

raspberry is fine, maybe not banana or grape

I had raspberry, pear and apple the other day in W'spoons, twas yum

Fruit may disintegrate a bit too much with raspberry alone, maybe do half and half raspberry and apple?

I would mix too. i did a lovely peach one years ago. Mmmmm it was lush.

I agree. That would be delish! Served warm with clotted cream.

Rhubarb please if you're offering

I've just made a blackcurrant (from our garden) and apple one today and it was lovely.

Banana and apple is lovely. I don't think banana would work on its own.

oooooh, banana n apple sounds good!! thanks for the tip about raspberries turning to mush, will do apples too maybe.

Plums are lovely in crumble, especially if you put some flaked almonds into the crumble mix.

Don't do a crumble with just Blueberries as you end up with all crumble and rather dry blueberry skins

but then I might have done something wrong

70s book so its in imperial I'm afaid

Topping - 1oz butter, 1 oz sugar creamed
8 half pears (or other fruit)
Cake - 4oz butter or marge, 4 oz sugar, 4 oz flour, 2 eggs, teaspoon cinammon

Rub in flour and marge, mix in sugar, beat in eggs, add cinammon. Line 18cm square tin with greaseproof paper. Spread topping over paper, add a layer of fruit, pour cake mix over fruit.
Bake at 345 F for 45 mins.

Doesn't say which flour but I assume it is S/R

My sis made a cobbler (very like crumble) with peaches, raspberries and redcurrants the other weekend - it was sensational! She uses Nigel Slater's cobbler recipe - I commend it to you.
