probably been done to death but, crumble topping

[lucysmam]

If I wanted to make it a bit different, what could I add?

How about porridge oats? or coconut maybe?

or something else?

to go with some berries & apple

Apple - I'd add some oats and cinnamon!

Oats, cinnamon, ground ginger, chopped nuts? I found a great recipe for a flapjack crumble here and added some chopped walnuts to it too.

I always do half & half flour and oats and then add in a good dollop of cinnamon. Demerara sugar too, for a bit of crunch.

i add wheatgerm, oatmeal or porridge oats, cinnamon or mixed spice (not altogether though!) I avoid nuts for allergy reasons but the flavour would be good. Mixed spice is good for berries and apple. Always demerara sugar sprinkled on top.

BIL does one with added crushed Frosties which is interesting!

I have a recipe for a crumble topping for apple which includes cheese - I was sceptical about it but tried it and it was nice, you can't taste the cheese. I can look it out if you like and I'd agree with oats.

I do half flour half crushed almonds, a spinkle of cinammon/mixed spice and some demerara sugar. Then poke little holes in it with a skewer. The holes create 'pockets' where the sugar goes all toffee like - yummy!

n5rje, that sounds interesting. Would give it a go just out of curiosity! Could I have recipe please?

almonds, oats n cinnamon. Off to rummage in my cupboard, thanks all
