Vitally important question:
Apple crumble - do you tip the crumble on top and just smooth it out or do you smooth it out and firm it down as well ? 

[Kleftiwallah]

CAREFULLY cover the gloop with the crumble and level off.  Don't compress it at all.  



Cheers,    Tony.

nooo - never firm crumble. 

[GrannieAnnie]

I love crumble, but Brian doesn't so I don't make it often, but definitely don't compress.  Sometimes I even leave it a little rough, so you get darker peaks!!!

[plum crumble]

me too GA! lovely. Sometimes I substitute some of the flour for oats, and some sesame seeds- delice!

[GrannieAnnie]

I've done oats too occasionally plum, but not seeds. oh and a few chopped nuts!   

[Mrs Bee]

Yes, oats, nuts, brown sugar, spices, rough and rugged and not compressed.

I made an apple crumble last Sunday & added some crunchy breakfast cereal with fruit  nuts,you know the sort stuck in clumps with honey etc, instead of the oats I normally add. It was lovely

Stop it girls!! The diet won't allow it!  Must stick to fresh fruit  - lovely strawberries off the allotment

[Madame Cholet]

waiting looking longingly at the green raspberries, my favourite.

I like my crumble to look more like rough gravel rather than smooth sand, I get this effect by squeezing some of the crumble mixture in my fist and let it fall in rough lumps over the fruit. It creates a lovely crunch when cooked.
Think I will make a rhubarb and ginger one tonight!
