Almond Plum Crumble
There is something about cooked plums - I think it lies in the consistency of the liquid which their natural juices make when combined with sugar -that results in such a fabulous base for crumbles.
Serves: 4 - 6
Ingredients
- 675g Plums, washed, halved and stoned
- 50g Golden Granulated Sugar
For the Crumble
- 115g Plain Flour
- 50g Golden Granulated Sugar
- 50g Butter
- 50g Ground Almonds
- 25g Almonds, Flaked
Method
- Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4 160C
- Grease a 1.5 litre shallow ovenproof dish.
- Arrange the plums in a single layer. Sprinkle enough sugar to sweeten over the top.
- Place the flour and sugar in a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in the ground almonds and half the flaked almonds.
- Scatter the crumb mixture over the plums and press down lightly. Sprinkle the reserved flaked almonds over the top.
- Bake in the centre of the oven 40 -45 mins until the crumble is golden and plums cooked. Serve hot or warm.
